The article centers around the assassination of Héctor Cuén, a former rector of the Autonomous University of Sinaloa and elected federal deputy, and the subsequent investigation implicating Governor Rubén Rocha Moya. Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, a prominent drug trafficker, is also a key figure, having been apprehended and providing information that contradicts the state's initial narrative.
The Federal Attorney General's Office (FGR) has declared the video presented by the Sinaloa state prosecutor's office, close to Rocha, as a "montage." The FGR claims Cuén was killed at the same location where Zambada was apprehended, a claim that contradicts the state's version of events. The state's initial hypothesis of a robbery gone wrong is challenged by the FGR's discovery of the victim's blood at the scene, as well as a revised testimony from the victim's driver.
Governor Rocha denies any involvement, stating that he was not in Sinaloa at the time of the event and had no knowledge of the close relationship between Cuén and Zambada. He claims to have requested the FGR's intervention in the case and affirms his trust in the authorities. He has also defended the appointment of his replacement for the former state prosecutor, claiming she was not involved in the initial investigation.
Despite LĂłpez Obrador and Sheinbaum publicly supporting Rocha, the controversy continues. The article highlights the ongoing violence in Sinaloa, linked to the power struggle within the Sinaloa Cartel following Zambada's arrest, which has caused a surge in deaths, kidnappings, and robberies.
