On the morning of Tuesday, July 14, 2026, Rafael Zabalza Veraza, a Spanish businessman, was detained by state authorities as part of the ongoing investigation into a series of armed attacks on V\u00eda Atlixc\u00e1yotl in Puebla. <\/p>\n
The operation took place in the Santa Fe neighborhood within the Angel\u00f3polis area, involving coordinated efforts from the State Attorney General\u2019s Office, State Police, National Guard, Army, and Navy. During the arrest, Zabalza Veraza reportedly fired at the agents before being subdued and captured. <\/p>\n
Known primarily as a pharmaceutical entrepreneur, Zabalza Veraza also owns Grupo Emprendedor Gasolinero, S.A. de C.V., a company registered at Avenida 25 Oriente 1627, Bella Vista, Puebla. Public reports have linked him to a previous armed attack on a Telcel store in Plaza V\u00eda San \u00c1ngel, though authorities have yet to confirm any judicial resolution regarding that incident. <\/p>\n
Beyond his business ventures, Zabalza Veraza has been a supplier of medicines and medical equipment during the administrations of former Puebla governors Melquiades Morales and Mario Mar\u00edn. More recently, he signed a collaboration agreement with the Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica Metropolitana de Puebla, representing the civil association ITEBIO A.C. <\/p>\n
The Fiscal\u00eda continues to investigate Zabalza Veraza\u2019s alleged involvement in the multiple shootings targeting drivers on V\u00eda Atlixc\u00e1yotl, as well as any other related incidents connected to his arrest. <\/p>\n
This case highlights ongoing challenges in Puebla\u2019s public safety landscape, underscoring the importance of transparent investigations and community trust. Meanwhile, infrastructure projects like the upcoming cableb\u00fas system in Puebla aim to improve urban mobility and safety, offering residents alternative, secure transportation options in a city grappling with complex security issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
