The local congress in Monterrey approved a majority vote on October 13, 2026, to investigate Governor Samuel García and Secretary of Security Gerardo Escamilla.[^1]

The legislative body moved forward with the inquiry into the regional administration and security leadership. This development follows a separate report from April 12, 2026, in which Omar García Harfuch, the Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection of Mexico, stated that businessman Jorge Amílcar Olán Aparicio is located.[^2]

The investigation in Monterrey represents a new legal step for the state government, distinct from the earlier confirmation of a fugitive's location by the national security secretary.
