MXFive police officers from Mexico City’s Secretariat of Public Security (SSC), three women and two men stationed in the Oasis sector of Iztapalapa municipality, were arrested for robbery and attempted murder. The arrests followed investigations by the Directorate General of Internal Affairs, coordinated with prosecutors, leading to their detention within the Oasis sector. Three officers were charged with qualified robbery, while the two men faced charges of both qualified robbery and attempted murder. All five were taken to different prisons and placed under judicial authority. The SSC condemned actions violating citizens’ rights and emphasized ongoing anti-corruption efforts. Judicial sources indicated further investigation into other officers, including supervisors, due to suspicions of a group involved in home invasions. This follows previous cases of misconduct among Oasis officers, including a sexual abuse incident last year. In recent months, over half of the 826 SSC officers dismissed were due to administrative or disciplinary issues.
