Sheinbaum Identifies Ship as Source of Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill, Seeks Criminal Probe

President Claudia Sheinbaum affirmed that the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, impacting Tabasco and Veracruz coasts, originated mainly from a ship rather than Pemex operations. This clarification shifts focus from the Pemex Dos Bocas refinery to maritime responsibility and has triggered a criminal investigation by Mexican authorities. The investigation's findings will inform future accountability measures and environmental safeguards to prevent similar marine contamination.
