The customs employees who will be prosecuted are not only civilians but also military personnel, as well as businesspeople, including the former governor of Baja California and member of the National Action Party (PAN), Ernesto Ruffo Appel.
According to federal sources close to EL UNIVERSAL, the arrest warrants began being filed on August 1, 2025, through the Attorney General's Office (FGR) and local prosecutors' offices before judges across the country.
Some of the requests have already been issued, and others will be granted by judges in the coming months, although due to the confidentiality of the investigation, not all will be announced publicly.
On August 14, El Gran Diario de México reported on the progress of this mega-operation to combat fuel theft at the highest level, detailing that, to date, personnel at the customs offices of Ciudad Juárez, Matamoros, Reynosa, Nuevo Laredo, Tampico, and Ensenada had been dismissed from their duties, in addition to the suspension of two customs agents for alleged collusion in gasoline smuggling.
Also, this Sunday, the Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection, Omar García Harfuch, announced the arrest of 14 people linked to fuel smuggling following the massive seizure of 20 million liters of diesel in Tampico, Tamaulipas, last March.
At a press conference, the federal official confirmed the arrest of three businessmen, five active and one retired marine, as well as five former customs officials.
According to information obtained by El Gran Diario de México, warrants will be issued next week against legal entities also involved in fuel theft.
Of particular note is an arrest warrant against the former governor of Baja California and PAN member, Ernesto Guillermo Ruffo Appel, who serves as the majority shareholder of the company Ingemar, S.A. de C.V., involved in the massive seizure of 15 million liters of fuel theft in Coahuila on July 7.

Customs is the door to any country's coffers.
If you control them then you have the power. Organized crime figured this out decades ago.
Wow! Mexicans are as corrupt as democrats?
steve guerra, tito lopez, y ernesto gutierrez.
And? Do you punish all for crimes of the few? No, It's the politicians that are dirty as fuck.
President TRUMP is forcing change in Mexico! Don’t think for one Mexican moment that they are doing this on their own. Trump does not tolerate corruption! Exposing all the ratas. And there are some of them in Browntown.
Port commissioner Ernesto Gutierrez’s uncle is up to his ass involved in this. You had a story about it earlier Mr. Editor. With all those arrested they will confirm your reporting. The Port of Brownsville commissioners are involved…. TikTok, TikTok
Madre Santisima, some justice is evolving in Sunny Mexico. Now if they can hold the line ? I hope so for Mexico's sake. La corrupsion is the biggest probem. All Mexico needs is integrity and watch it Bloom.
🍻🙌
There is no such thing as an honest Mexican.
7:20 Trump does not tolerate corruption? Did I read that correctly? Your brain
is smoother than a cue ball.
Wife beater Dietrich and Arturo Gomez cover their asses. The port of corruption.
Trump is the "mischief" in charge. My friend, I hope you go to the great beyond before you learn that Trump is breaking your heart.🥲
You think there is an honest China man, Gringo, Russian, or any other nationality.😂🤣😂
