Mexican federal agents arrested a former governor on fuel smuggling charges as part of a crackdown on a criminal fuel-racket that has cost state coffers billions of dollars in lost tax revenue. The action signals heightened enforcement and potential changes to enforcement intensity and compliance risk in the fuel supply chain. Near-term market impact is likely limited, but the fiscal implications are negative for offenders and supportive for government revenue recovery.
