By joining the hasty shelter that the ruling party has given to the Morena governor of Sinaloa to separate him from any connection with organized crime and to deny Ismael El Mayo Zambada, the state Attorney General’s Office has put itself on the line for the General of the Republic to investigate it for the probable cover-up of the murder of the former rector of the Autonomous University and former elected deputy, Héctor Melesio Cuén Ojeda.
If it acts with genuine autonomy, the investigation that has already attracted the Federal Public Ministry will not be able to avoid the fact that a police commander of the state Attorney General’s Office, José Rosario Heras López, was part of the personal guard of the capo, who claims that Cuén Ojeda was killed in the morning and at the site of his unfortunate encounter with Joaquín Guzmán López, which if confirmed would mean that the video of the execution, at night and at a gas station, supposedly reveals what it reveals is a crude montage.
In his explosive letter, Zambada says:
“I know that the official version given by the authorities of the state of Sinaloa is that Hector Cuen was shot on the night of July 25 at a gas station by two men on a motorcycle who wanted to steal his truck. That is not what happened. They killed him at the same time and in the same place where they kidnapped me…”
The mere release of the video by the Attorney General’s Office may constitute a crime because it is material from a supposedly unfinished “investigation,” but this may be the least of it because, far from clarifying anything, far from disproving Zambada, it destroys the original version that they killed Cuen in an attempt to rob him of his truck.
In the video in question it is impossible to identify or even see the silhouettes of those who were traveling in the vehicle when the gunman opens the door and shoots at the bottom of the seat.
The probability remains that what the driver was carrying in the passenger seat was the body of the former rector that he would have transported from the “ranch and event center called Huertos del Pedregal, on the outskirts of Culiacán,” where El Mayo claims the murder occurred.
The Sinaloa Prosecutor’s Office insists that its file contemplates (or contemplated) as the “main line” of investigation the attempted “theft of a vehicle” and is vaccinating: “without ruling out any other that may arise…”.
To support its implausible statement, it relies on the version “of the main witness of the events, companion and very close friend of the family of Héctor Melesio Cuén, as well as other video and expert evidence.”
The desire to shore up the support of the incoming and outgoing presidents, and of the governors in office and those elected to the governor’s care, shows, at the very least, the clumsiness with which the prosecutor’s office conducts itself, as it releases the precise video of an alleged attack in which there is nothing to suggest that it was an assault.
It also says that it has “other videotaped evidence,” but it does not dare to disclose it.
Its behavior stinks of complicity with organized crime.
