In response, the president of this law firm, David Alvarez Bernal, says it is just an act of reprisal by the municipal government for having won an appeal for the reduction of fees of the Aquarium, as well as other lawsuits of collective action against of the town hall.

The lawsuits for extortion against lawyer David Álvarez Bernal have nothing to do with the City Council or the State Government, said Mazatlan real estate developers, after the legal controversy made public in recent days before the mayor-elect, Luis Guillermo Benítez Towers.
