A video released this week showed up to five people breaking into the newsroom of Aristegui Noticias in Mexico City Nov. 13, stealing a laptop from the unit of special investigation — the journal founded by Carmen Aristegui, one of Mexico’s most well-known journalist and whistleblower.

The laptop held crucial information about the current investigations carried out by reporters, added the journal without further detail.

The thieves also took a watch, a bag and a tool box under the supervision of nine security cameras, but did not seem to care about the other computers and video equipment present in the room. A complaint was filed with the attorney general of Mexico City.

Aristegui was fired in March after the launch of MexicoLeaks, a website created by independent media organizations in order to share information to denounce and investigate official corruption. She is one of the founders of the site.

The journalist has said that her coverage of a scandal involving Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto was a factor in her dismissal.
