Operation Swarm, launched in November 2024 under the administration of Delfina Gómez Álvarez in the State of Mexico, has emerged as a decisive initiative aimed at tackling corruption and extortion at the municipal level. This operation has succeeded in establishing a robust model for the entire country by demonstrating the effectiveness of collaboration among federal, state, and local authorities in safeguarding public welfare. The initiative has already resulted in significant achievements in curtailing illicit activities among public officials.

Since its inception, Operation Swarm, led by the State Attorney General's Office (FGJEM), has resulted in the investigation and arrest of 60 individuals, including current and former government officials linked to criminal activities across 18 municipalities. It has placed the State of Mexico at the forefront of the national battle against corruption and organized crime. The investigation activity stemming from this strategy has also yielded 19 convictions against 17 individuals identified as priority targets in this anti-corruption effort.

The ongoing success of Operation Swarm has attracted attention not only within Mexico but also potentially abroad, as it showcases a model for regional cooperation against corruption that others may look to emulate. As the strategy continues to unfold, its implications for governance, public trust, and the broader fight against corruption in Mexico remain significant. This approach to law enforcement may set new standards for other states to follow and could evolve into a template for tackling systemic corruption in governance across the nation.
