The General Prosecutor's Office of Justice of Mexico City secured eight properties and returned six others linked to land dispossession cases on August 25, 2026, as an internal corruption probe into how those cases were handled widened to cover 14 of its own staff.[^1]

El Imparcial reports that Attorney General Bertha Alcalde Luján opened eight investigation files against the 14 officials for alleged omissions and corruption in property dispossession cases.[^3] Diario De México reports that the same 14 public servants are now under review by the FGJCDMX's Internal Affairs Unit.[^2] The two accounts together place every item on the same thread: whether members of the office charged with prosecuting dispossession cases worked to obstruct or exploit them instead.

The read here is that the simultaneous moves - field action on properties and an internal probe of the staff who handled the files - suggest the FGJCDMX is trying to show it can police itself on an issue, land dispossession, that carries deep political weight in the capital. What remains unresolved is the precise date Alcalde Luján announced the investigation files, what specific omissions are alleged against each official, and whether any of the 14 have been suspended or charged.
