What it shows

The outcome of a case more than the arrest

Puebla numbers its bulletins consecutively within each year and publishes several a day, but what sets it apart is what it chooses to announce: a large share of its releases are endings rather than beginnings. Sentences confirmed on appeal are common, with terms of decades for aggravated kidnapping, femicide and aggravated homicide, as are notices that people reported missing have been found alive, which the prosecutor publishes in batches. Theft of vehicles carrying cargo also appears often, a feature of the freight corridor crossing the state. The headline summarises the case and the full detail lives at the link.

FAQ

Common questions

01Why does the summary repeat the headline?
Because the Puebla prosecutor does not publish a separate standfirst in its list: it repeats the headline. This is not a fault in the lookup. Headlines are written to stand alone and usually include the offence, the sentence and the municipality, while the body of the bulletin sits at the link.
02What is a final sentence and why does it appear so often?
One that no ordinary appeal can still overturn, normally after a court upholds the first-instance ruling. Puebla announces many of these confirmations, which makes its feed more useful than most for seeing how cases ended rather than only how they began.
03Can I track a specific missing person here?
Only in aggregate. The prosecutor publishes notices that people have been found alive, almost always in batches and without names in the headline, so it shows the pace of locations rather than the status of one case. For that you need the prosecutor's office or the search commission.
04Is it free? How does the search work?
It is free and needs no account, with a cap on lookups per hour from the same connection. The search runs over the text the prosecutor publishes, so its own Spanish terms work best, and results arrive ten at a time with the total page count.
