The Attorney General's Office of the Republic (FGR) issued a statement confronting a federal court in Sinaloa for alleged errors in the court hearing to request an arrest warrant against Joaquín Guzmán López, son of 'El Chapo' Guzmán. The Attorney General's Office provided 78 pieces of evidence to support the accusation of kidnapping and treason to the homeland.
The FGR claims that Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada was kidnapped by Guzmán López on a ranch near Culiacán. Blood belonging to Héctor Melesio Cuén was found on that ranch, according to issued statements. The federal judge of Sinaloa, Alejandro Alberto Díaz Cruz, has informed the media that he denied an arrest warrant because sufficient evidence regarding the blood traces of doctor Héctor 'N' was not presented.
The judge omitted to mention that the arrest warrant was for kidnapping and treason to the homeland, not for homicide. He also did not refer to the 78 pieces of evidence presented by the Attorney General's Office, which, according to them, were sufficient for the detention. The blood traces have already been examined and identified as part of the homicide case; the Attorney General's Office withdrew its request after the eight-hour hearing, considering that the information was not adequately assessed.
The Attorney General's Office is committed to continuing the criminal proceedings in a transparent, respectful, truthful, and objective manner, acting in defense of justice.
