  • Morena Senator Julieta Ramírez, who is seeking her party’s nomination for governor of Baja California, is reportedly under investigation by the U.S. government.

  • The report did not specify the alleged offense and said Ramírez had not publicly stated her position on the matter.

Morena Senator Julieta Ramírez is seeking the governorship of Baja California while, according to N+ Focus, negotiating with the U.S. Department of Justice to become a cooperating witness in an investigation.

The report, presented on Televisa’s main news program, said N+ Focus obtained a proffer agreement between the San Diego County Office of the U.S. Department of Justice and the senator. Ramírez is currently on leave from the Senate as she pursues Morena’s nomination for governor.

A proffer agreement is a written contract between a prosecutor and an investigated person or cooperating witness. It allows the person to provide information about a crime while limiting the Department of Justice’s ability to use that statement directly against them at trial.

N+ did not specify which offense or offenses may be under investigation. The report also did not say whether Ramírez had issued a public response. The senator represents Baja California and is seeking to collaborate with U.S. authorities while her political bid remains underway.
