Derivado del intercambio de información con la @DEAHQ y de trabajos de inteligencia e investigación de autoridades mexicanas en Mexicali, Baja California, elementos de @FGRMexico, @Defensamx1 @SEMAR_mx @SSPCMexico y autoridades estatales ejecutaron una acción operativa en un inmueble vinculado con el grupo delictivo conocido como “Los Rusos”.

Durante el operativo fueron asegurados 120 kilos de pastillas de fentanilo, equivalentes a más de 4 millones de dosis, además de un arma de fuego y vehículos.

La cooperación internacional, acompañada de investigación y capacidad operativa de las instituciones mexicanas, permite traducir información en resultados concretos contra las organizaciones criminales y sus estructuras logísticas.
