The Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection, Omar García Harfuch, reported that during the current federal administration, 85 current and former public officials allegedly related to organized crime groups have been arrested.

During President Claudia Sheinbaum's morning conference, the official assured that the investigations and arrests have been carried out "regardless of political party or level of government."

Likewise, he specified that among those detained are seven mayors who were in office at the time of their arrest.

Federal authorities indicated that the arrests are part of the security strategy focused on combating corruption networks and institutional protection linked to criminal organizations.

According to García Harfuch, the investigations have made it possible to detect alleged links between public servants and activities related to drug trafficking, extortion, homicide and protection of criminal groups in different entities of the country.

The official reiterated that any public servant who has signs of collaboration with organized crime will be investigated and, where appropriate, prosecuted.

In the midst of these operations, various high-profile cases have generated national attention, particularly in states such as Sinaloa, Morelos and Jalisco.

In these entities, investigations and arrests of municipal and state officials accused of alleged links with criminal groups have recently been carried out.
