Mexican agents executed a coordinated raid on a concealed cryptocurrency mining site in Tlaola, Puebla, seizing about 300 graphics processing units, a power transformer, roughly 80 medium-voltage terminals and eight satellite internet receivers. The operation involved the attorney general's office, naval personnel and Puebla security forces, and followed local reports of continuous operational noise and intelligence tied to the nearby Nuevo Necaxa hydroelectric complex. Authorities are investigating possible unauthorized electrical connections and whether mined coins were used to launder criminal proceeds; no arrests or organizational links have been confirmed and the investigation remains ongoing.
