The state of the properties
In Paseo de la Reforma Extension, from the Conafrut bridge towards the commercial and corporate area of Santa Fe, you can see the construction works of the new headquarters of the Attorney General’s Office and the National Park of Justice.
In the so-called “Puerta Santa Fe” there are already properties and commercial premises such as a high-end motorcycle store, parking lots and gyms, which today look abandoned due to the seizure by federal authorities.
On the side of the Mexico-Toluca highway towards La Marquesa there is a Shell gas station and a convenience store that, in addition to remaining with cordon tape, the armed personnel of the FGR do not allow people to approach.
Between the gas station and the entrance to the tunnel that connects with Paseo de los Tamarindos there are approximately 1.2 kilometers of distance where there are at least three vacant lots that have insurance seals by the federal authority.

On the part of the FGR, it is pointed out that the owners should not worry about legal proceedings, since the institution will investigate those who committed a crime and who has invaded the properties owned by the Nation.
“In the event that the property or the property cannot be returned in its entirety, the national property laws themselves and other codes establish that whoever has committed that crime will have to pay damages, therefore the people who are occupying in good faith those assets, they have no action against them,” said the prosecutor in the case.
“Those who have committed the crime are the ones who will have to answer to the authority, and where appropriate, pay the damages they have caused to the Nation in the event that the property is no longer possible to recover (from the owners)” .
