Former mayor of Iguala receives conviction for homicide in case linked to Ayotzinapa

The licensed governor of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya, stated that since May 1 he has remained at his home in Culiacán. This occurs after the United States filed accusations against him for drug trafficking.

Through her X account, Rocha Moya indicated that this Thursday, July 9, marks 69 days since she requested leave to leave office. “I did it from my conviction as a Mexican who trusts in the institutions and laws of our country,” he wrote.

“With the aim that, without the protection of the constitutional jurisdiction inherent to my position, I be investigated fully and without any restrictions by the competent authorities,” he added.

The former state president seeks for the investigations to advance without legal obstacles. Until now, there is no information about the status of the investigations against him.

Four elements of the National Guard were linked to proceedings for the crime of express kidnapping, after being detained at the Abraham González airport in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua.

The facts

The agents identified asFernando P.R., Horacio De la C.S., Alfredo G.C. and Jesús Gerardo R.A.face charges for having demanded money from at least five people. According to the bonding hearing, the victims presented evidence that the defendants were holding them to deposit resources in the bank accounts of the elements themselves.

Judge Haydee of Santiago Wong Edges determined that the defendants remain in preventive detention for an investigation period of three months.

Reaction of the governor

The governor of Chihuahua, María Eugenia Campos Galván, celebrated the judicial resolution and the action of the corporation itself in filing the complaint.

“I am very pleased that there has been a complaint by the National Guard. It would be important that at all levels and levels of government our security forces behave in accordance with the law and do the job of serving the population,” declared Campos Galván.

The case highlights the internal purge efforts in the federal forces, although doubts persist about the magnitude of irregular conduct within the corporation.

President Claudia Sheinbaum spoke about the preventive detention issued against the former director of Pemex, Víctor Rodríguez Padilla, accused of family aggression and vicarious violence. In his morning conference, he stated that “neither friendship nor charges are above the law.”

We all saw a video that the victim uploaded to social networks where it is evident that there is violence on the part of Víctor; In that case, as in all, that is very important: neither friendship nor positions are above the law. That has always been our position and that is how we will always act.

Sheinbaum added that it is up to the Morelos Prosecutor’s Office to determine the procedure. On Wednesday, Judge Adriana Carrera Ortiz imposed the precautionary measure after reviewing the elements of the investigation file, made up of the complaint of family and vicarious abuse against the wife and youngest daughter of the former official.

Details of the case and defense of the victims

The act of aggression was recorded in a video released by the victim herself, which occurred in a home in the Country Club subdivision, in Emiliano Zapata, Morelos. Sheinbaum reiterated: “We will always defend the victims.”

The president also referred to the resolution of the Michoacán Court that determined that Senator Gerardo Fernández Noroña exercised gender-based political violence against Mayor Grecia Quiroz. The senator announced that he will appeal the ruling. Sheinbaum pointed out that “the corresponding authorities” must resolve it and stressed his commitment to the victims.

According to the ruling, Fernández Noroña demeaned the management of the mayor, who took office after the death of her husband, Carlos Manzo. Sheinbaum concluded: “Be with the victims and with justice, always.”
