Mexican officials seize four illegal refineries
The Mexican authorities announced the dismantling of four illegal oil refineries in the states of San Luis Potosí, Hidalgo, and Morelos, with the confiscation of approximately one million liters (6,300 barrels) of petroleum products. The Attorney General's Office confirmed that these facilities reveal a new phase in the illegal fuel trade, where the continuous movement of trucks, pipe transfers, and associated odors were indicators of illicit activities. This effort is part of the government's ongoing campaign to combat fuel smuggling, which cost Pemex about $530 million in the first half of 2026, representing a 20% increase compared to the same period last year.
