Acting Culiacán Mayor Confirms FGR Summons, Vows Legal Compliance

Juan de Dios Gámez Mendívil, the acting mayor of Culiacán, has confirmed he received a summons from Mexico's Attorney General's Office (FGR). Gámez Mendívil, who is among ten individuals reportedly requested by the United States government, including Governor Rubén Rocha Moya, announced he would appear before the federal prosecutor's office.

Following the lead of Governor Rocha Moya and Senator Enrique Inzunza Cazarez, who also confirmed their summonses via social media, Gámez Mendívil stated his intention to cooperate fully. He expressed absolute certainty in his actions, asserting they have always been in accordance with the law and civic responsibility. "As a citizen and public servant who loves Culiacán, Sinaloa, and Mexico, a country with solid institutions under the leadership of President Claudia Sheinbaum, I have confidence that truth and justice will prevail," he posted on social media.

Senator Enrique Inzunza Cazarez was the first to publicly disclose his summons from the FGR regarding allegations of connections to criminal groups, as reported by the U.S. Department of Justice. Shortly after, Governor Rocha Moya also confirmed his summons, emphasizing his integrity and stating he has nothing to fear, as his life's testimony supports him. He assured he would attend the FGR's request.

The summonses come amid reports that the U.S. government has requested the appearance of these ten individuals. While the specific reasons for the U.S. government's interest were not detailed in the article, the involvement of the FGR suggests a legal process is underway within Mexico concerning these figures.
