The CIA agents who died in Chihuahua were indeed carrying firearms and wearing uniforms of the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE), according to a photograph obtained by Milenio, in which they are seen alongside ministerial personnel.

The image shows the four victims of the road accident: the two US agents, the then head of the State Investigation Agency, and the officer who was driving the truck that went off the road last Sunday. There are also two more members of the State Investigation Agency (AEI) and another unidentified person.

The photograph includes:

  1. Pedro Román Oseguera Cervantes , director of the State Investigation Agency (AEI)
  2. Genaro Manuel Méndez Montes , driver of the group belonging to the AEI
  3. American embassy agent
  4. American embassy agent
  5. Unidentified
  6. AEI Agent.
  7. AEI Agent.

The six individuals are wearing official uniforms of the Chihuahua Attorney General’s Office and carrying institutional weapons . Some are wearing blue latex gloves, others have gas masks, and some are wearing face masks—protective equipment typically used in drug lab raids.

The photograph was allegedly taken on April 18, the day the AEI located a drug lab, an operation after which the road accident occurred.

The image obtained by Milenio contradicts the version given yesterday by prosecutor Wendy Paola Chávez Villanueva, whom Governor María Eugenia Campos tasked with investigating the events that occurred from April 17 to 19.

“There is no indication that suggests that, during the operation, the people of foreign origin presented themselves, claimed to be, or acted as members or agents of any national or foreign security institution or agency,” Chávez Villanueva stated. “The testimonies agree that these people were not wearing the AEI tactical uniform nor carrying insignia of this corporation; that they kept their faces covered most of the time and that they were not carrying firearms.”

The special prosecutor also asserted that the US agents were not formally part of the institutional operational deployment and that their inclusion in the convoy was not reported to higher command.

“Statements from personnel involved in the operation indicate that the only interaction the foreign nationals had was with the director and the security team protecting him,” the special prosecutor stated. “There are elements that suggest a possible unofficial collaboration, the nature of which will have to be determined more precisely in the following stages of the investigation.”

This morning, at a press conference, the federal Secretary of Security, Omar García Harfuch, reported that the governor of Chihuahua, María Eugenia Campos, assured him that she was unaware of the presence of foreign agents, “The governor of Chihuahua told me that she had no knowledge of any operation being carried out with American agents in the field.”
