Late in the evening, a combined force of state and federal security personnel launched a raid on the "Lázaro Cárdenas del Río" Taxi Union headquarters in Playa del Carmen. The raid was part of an ongoing investigation into allegations that the union has ties to organized crime and is contributing to violence in the popular tourist destination.
The authorities are seeking evidence to support claims that the union is involved in illegal activities. This operation is a part of a broader state strategy aimed at curbing corruption and violence within transportation unions across Quintana Roo. This follows a similar intervention at a union in Cancun last month.
As of now, the "Lázaro Cárdenas del Río" Taxi Union has not released an official statement regarding the raid.
