Former Michoacán Governor Silvano Aureoles Conejo has been apprehended. On the afternoon of March 3, federal agents arrested him in Jalisco, executing an arrest warrant that accuses him of money laundering, embezzlement, criminal association, and abuse of public office.
The arrest comes after months of investigations and accusations against his administration, which have already led to the arrest of several former officials. According to reports, Aureoles allegedly participated in illicit financial operations and the misappropriation of public funds, placing him at the center of one of the most notorious political scandals in recent years.
The operation was confirmed by national and international media outlets, including Univision, and marks a turning point in the fight against corruption in Mexico.
Residents of the area where he was arrested report that the security deployment was surprising and forceful, making it clear that the former governor could no longer escape the accusations against him.
