FGR details the evidence against Ruffo Appel
The Attorney General’s Office (FGR) stated that the former governor of Baja California, Ernesto Ruffo Appel, is not being investigated for political or ideological reasons. The agency detailed that 96 pieces of evidence have been integrated against him, related to his alleged participation in a hydrocarbon smuggling network.
In a statement, the FGR stressed that all procedures are carried out in accordance with due process and respect for the presumption of innocence. The evidence includes expert opinions in chemistry, mechanical and electrical engineering, as well as criminalistics studies and technical photography.
“Photographic opinions, to technically document the findings and investigative acts carried out; criminalistics opinions, aimed at fixing, preserving, analyzing and correlating the located evidence; and identification opinions, to know the type of hydrocarbon, whether gasoline or diesel,” stressed the FGR.
The link with the Ingemar company
The investigation also focuses on the company Ingemar S.A. de C.V., where Ruffo Appel is a shareholder. The company was established in August 2018 in Mexico City. Two months later, Ruffo joined the company’s variable capital. By 2021, he was already listed as a shareholder and secretary of the Board of Directors, participating in strategic decision-making together with José Merino Valdés Cuervo.
