Mexico's FGR finds no evidence linking governor to Sinaloa Cartel; investigation continues

Mexico's Attorney General's Office (FGR) has stated that it has not yet found evidence to prove alleged ties between the governor of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya, and the Sinaloa Cartel. David Boone de la Garza, head of the Specialized Regional Control Prosecutor's Office, affirmed that the investigation remains active and exhaustive. He noted that the evidence gathered so far does not meet the minimum evidentiary standard required by Mexican legislation. This statement was made during a press conference with Attorney General Ernestina Godoy Ramos. The investigation also involves Senator Enrique Inzunza Cázares, who, along with Rocha Moya, was accused by the U.S. Department of Justice. Boone de la Garza explained that ten officials requested by the U.S. have been interviewed, and reports and information have been received. He emphasized the commitment of the chief prosecutor and the special prosecutor for complex cases to conduct a thorough investigation. Earlier, Sheinbaum had requested the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to disclose communications with the U.S. regarding Rocha Moya and Inzunza, while judicial case notes were kept confidential.
