Municipal police die after falling from a highway distributor in León

Vice Admiral Manuel Roberto Farías Laguna, nephew-in-law of former Secretary of the Navy José Rafael Ojeda Durán, filed an appeal for review against the ruling that denied him protection to annul his connection to the process. He is accused of leading a network of fiscal huachicol from the naval institution.

The defense requested that it be analyzed whether the criminal process should be transferred to military jurisdiction, in accordance with article 13 of the constitution. He maintains that the control judge Mario Martínez Elizondo should have carried out that analysis.

“The accusation was built on the quality of vice admiral and the functions he performed within the Navy Secretariat,” the defense said in a statement.

The appeal challenges the decision of Judge Jorge Adrián Cruz Flores, who last June denied federal protection. Now, a Collegiate Criminal Court will review the case.

Arguments against the sentence

The defense assures that neither the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) nor the ruling identify a specific order or act by Farías Laguna that demonstrates his participation in the alleged organization. The accusation, he affirms, is based on institutional hierarchy, geolocations and family ties, not on direct evidence.

He also accuses that the judge gave improper scope to a letter attributed to Fernando Rubén Guerrero Alcántar, interpreting it as a direct accusation. Furthermore, he points out that the sentence validates a collective narrative without distinguishing the specific conduct of the vice admiral.

“The appeal insists that the question remains regarding the constitutionality of article 4, section I, of the Federal Law against Organized Crime, considering that it raises problems of exhaustiveness, legality and legal certainty,” indicated the defense.

The criminal process continues in federal jurisdiction, while awaiting the resolution of the Collegiate Court.

Official visit of the Panamanian president

This Tuesday, Foreign Minister Roberto Velasco received the President of Panama, José Raúl Mulino, and his wife Maricel Cohen at the SRE headquarters. The meeting occurred hours before the meeting that Mulino will hold with President Claudia Sheinbaum at the National Palace.

Velasco was accompanied by his Panamanian counterpart, Javier Martínez-Acha. The Mexican Foreign Ministry highlighted that both countries remain committed to strengthening diplomatic ties on issues such as commercial exchange, investments, the agricultural sector and development cooperation.

Bilateral agenda and new agreements

The government of Panama reported that the visit responds to an official invitation from President Sheinbaum. Among the planned topics are trade, investment, security, customs and cooperation. The signing of new bilateral agreements is expected, including the possible accession of Panama to an aerospace agreement for Latin America and the Caribbean.

In addition, Mulino will meet with representatives of 23 Mexican companies interested in expanding operations in Panama or establishing themselves for the first time in that market, taking advantage of their logistical and service advantages to access other markets in the region.

The meeting between both leaders will take place this Wednesday. The Foreign Ministry did not detail whether there will be joint statements.

The clock is ticking for mobile phone users

The Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (CRT) warns against waiting until the last minute to link the cell phone line with digital banking. Otherwise, you risk losing access to banking platforms.

The organization ruled out a scenario of chaos, since more lines are registered every day. However, the deadline expires next December. At the end of the first week of July, 65 million 268 thousand 433 lines were already linked. There are 79 million missing, although it will be seen how many are out of use.

The Bank of Mexico (Banxico) promotes the reduction of cash use by standardizing payments through apps, regardless of the credit institution. Mexico follows the global trend of turning each cell phone into a bank branch, in line with the digital financial inclusion strategy.

The key is to act now: linking the line avoids setbacks and ensures access to digital financial services.
