The Mexican government under President Claudia Sheinbaum has intensified its efforts to combat fuel theft, known locally as "huachicol." Since the beginning of her administration, authorities have seized over 15.4 million liters of stolen fuel, marking the largest confiscation since Sheinbaum took office. This includes a recent operation in Coahuila where more than 15 million liters of illicit hydrocarbons were recovered, as well as a separate seizure of 933,000 liters of crude oil in Veracruz by the Fiscalía General de la República (FGR), which also confiscated 64 vehicles including motorcycles, trucks, and heavy machinery. President Sheinbaum has emphasized that her government will not protect any public officials or businesspeople involved in fuel theft, describing the eradication of this crime as a national priority. The administration's efforts have surpassed the total volume of fuel confiscated during the previous government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Additionally, the FGR is investigating four Mexican and U.S. companies allegedly linked to the Coahuila fuel theft case. The government is also addressing related criminal activities, such as the theft of a truck carrying 33 tons of gold and silver near Guadalajara. Meanwhile, authorities have detected clandestine gas LP pipeline taps in Tlaxcala. The crackdown reflects a shift from small gang involvement to larger criminal organizations dominating the fuel theft economy in Mexico. The government is also considering measures to improve highway toll payments to facilitate transit.
