Prosecutors Raid Isla Mujeres Rehab Center Over Abuse Allegations

Isla Mujeres, Quintana Roo — State prosecutors raided the Jiret Shaday rehabilitation center in the mainland section of Isla Mujeres municipality late Monday, acting on complaints from relatives who allege patients were beaten, tortured and psychologically abused inside the facility.

The operation began around 9 p.m., when agents from the State Prosecutor’s Office (FGE) investigation police entered the property to carry out court-ordered proceedings. National Guard troops, Mexican Navy personnel, Mexican Army soldiers and municipal police secured the perimeter while the agents worked inside.

Families Filed Complaints Days Earlier

According to initial reports, relatives of people being treated at the center filed their complaints roughly three days ago with the state prosecutor’s office. They alleged physical and psychological attacks carried out inside the Jiret Shaday facility.

Based on those statements, the FGE opened an investigation file to establish what happened and determine whether the alleged conduct carries criminal responsibility.

Judge Granted Search Warrant

As part of the inquiry, ministerial police gathered information and asked a judge for a search warrant to legally enter the establishment.

Once the judicial authorization was issued, agents went to the property to execute the order and look for evidence that could confirm or rule out the abuse reported by family members. Federal and municipal officers concentrated on keeping the surrounding area secure during the proceedings.

When the operation ended, the rehabilitation center was secured by prosecutors while the investigation continues.

The FGE has not said whether anyone was detained during the raid, nor has it specified how many alleged victims are connected to the complaints.
