Guillermo Zuany ordered that no photos be taken and no information be released about the accident in which CIA agents died; the bodyguard took control

Guillermo Arturo Zuany Portillo, the former prosecutor specialized in strategic operations of the Chihuahua State Attorney General's Office (FGE), currently a fugitive, ordered through a bodyguard from the State Investigative Agency (AEI), because he was not on site, that no photos be taken and no information be disseminated about the accident of last April 19, when two agents of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) died, according to criminal case 408/2026 to which EL UNIVERSAL had access. In an interview recorded by an agent of the Federal Public Ministry of the Attorney General's Office of the Republic (FGR) on May 8, 2026, an Investigation Officer of the AEI recounts that a bodyguard of the director of the State Investigative Agency took charge of the situation momentarily after said accident. "He told all of us that, on behalf of the boss Zuany, 'Don't take photos or disseminate information, don't report anything about what happened.' I know he was referring to Guillermo Arturo Zuany Portillo, who is the prosecutor of the Strategic Operations Prosecutor's Office; however, he was not present during the operation," the interviewee states. He recalls that at approximately 01:00 hours on April 19, 2026, his companion braked abruptly and commented that "it's all over"; they got out of the vehicle with their weapons and approached the units at the front of the convoy. "At that moment, I was looking out toward the ravine, I saw how one of the vehicles of the convoy was down below, it was starting to catch fire, and I also saw that four colleagues were already heading down toward where the unit was; of these colleagues: one was a bodyguard... brother of one of the deceased. "Another bodyguard with the nickname 'El Tetera,' two colleagues from the Zona Centro reaction unit, nicknamed 'El Guz,' and a female colleague whose name or nickname I don't know, I only remember she wore glasses," he states. In the arrest warrant, another AEI officer states in the ministerial interview that he communicated by telephone with another officer at the scene, who confirmed the accident and the vehicle fire, deciding to maintain the security of the camp given the nighttime risks, knowing that personnel were already providing assistance. Finally, at midday on April 19, 2026, the relief team from Zona Sur (Parral) arrived, beginning the withdrawal toward the municipality of Guachochi, receiving confirmation of the death of Director Oseguera, a bodyguard, and two other people. "After spending the night and communicating with their superiors, the Strategic Operations prosecutor, Roberto Zuany, to inform him of their decision to secure the perimeter, on April 20, 2026, they began the return to the city of Chihuahua. "The declarant specifies that... he did not participate in accident assistance efforts, nor did he have direct knowledge of the subsequent proceedings at the Guachochi airport, likewise not knowing whether the operation derived from an investigation file or ministerial intervention," the file indicates. Another interviewee states in the document that after the location of the narcolaboratory, Commander Oseguera gathered the supervisors and subsequently they summoned the personnel to form a circle, informing them in his own voice about the discovery of large-scale laboratories for the production of crystal meth and methamphetamine, congratulating the personnel on the result of the operation. "Pointing out that the event warranted a group photograph, he took his cell phone out of his pants pocket. At that moment, one of the colleagues exclaimed: 'There's the cousin,' referring to a person with fair skin, medium build, approximately 1.65 meters tall, dressed in denim pants and a dark sweatshirt. "Commander Oseguera handed his cell phone to this person to take the photograph from a distance of four or five meters, after which he returned the device and withdrew. Subsequently, Chief Oseguera indicated that they had to prepare because they would be leaving the site along with the personnel from Ciudad Juárez and the designated officers, heading to his vehicle," the interviewee asserts. The arrest warrant emphasizes that Zuany Portillo and Jáuregui Moreno carried out acts without legal basis, violating the provisions of various constitutional articles by making illegal use of public force, altering Mexico's internal peace. The former officials are accused by the Attorney General's Office of the Republic (FGR) of their probable involvement in the act that the law defines as the crime of treason against the homeland, provided for and punished in Article 123, Section I of the Federal Penal Code. The criminal case indicates that the successive resignations of the former state employees exposes, before the international community, a vacuum of territorial control and a worrying level of infiltration in local security structures. "The foregoing suggests that the events described above directly impact the diplomatic relationship due to the participation of personnel from institutions of a foreign country in operational activities on national territory," the file mentions. It stresses that without authorization from the Federal Government, it directly violates the sovereignty of the nation, alters the constitutional order, and negatively impacts the perception of peace and legal certainty among citizens. Guillermo Arturo Zuany Portillo and César Jáuregui Moreno, who remains in Federal Social Readaptation Center (Cefereso) No. 1 "El Altiplano," are linked to the case of the participation of the US agents in the operation that led to the discovery of a narcolaboratory in the community of El Pinal in the Sierra de Chihuahua, municipality of Morelos, between April 17 and 19, 2026. On April 19, two members of the CIA died, as well as Pedro Ramón Oseguera Cervantes, director of the AEI, and one of the officers in charge of the AEI director's security, after the vehicle lost control while traveling on a dirt road with poor visibility, causing it to fall into a ravine on the Chihuahua–Ciudad Juárez highway.
