Day 724 — Attorney General Godoy Fires FGR Guanajuato Delegate Over 'Anomalies' in the September Fuel-Seizure Case

Attorney General Ernestina Godoy removed FGR delegate Juan Francisco Vera Ayala from his post in Guanajuato, Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch confirmed at Sheinbaum's September 25, 2026 (Day 724, Friday) mañanera in Villahermosa, Tabasco, after the FGR's own team detected "certain anomalies" in the investigation behind the record 59-million-liter fuel-theft seizure the Security Cabinet had touted on September 18. The removal followed a roughly two-week gap between the early-September operation and its public announcement during Sheinbaum's Guanajuato tour stop, which had raised questions about the case's handling. Harfuch said the case remains under investigation and did not implicate Pemex personnel. The episode adds to Sheinbaum's broader anti-huachicol and anti-corruption push, which her government says has led to 2,654 arrests for fuel theft since October 2024.
