The Attorney General's Office responded to the statement made by the Federal Criminal Justice Center in Sinaloa and assured that it was a federal judge who delegated the arrest order against the actors of the alleged kidnapping of Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada, one of the leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel.
In an informative note on October 21, the Federal Criminal Justice Center in Sinaloa rejected that a judge had denied ordering the capture of Joaquín Guzmán López, the alleged responsible for the kidnapping and subsequent capture in the United States of his associate 'El Mayo' Zambada. The Sinaloa court informed that it was the federal prosecutor's office itself that requested to cancel the arrest order against Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán's son, in order to continue the investigation to clarify the events.
In light of the presentation made by the FGR, the judge declared the subject of the hearing without matter to issue the order and asked the attorney's office to re-submit the procedure for the arrest order once it concluded and perfected its investigations. The federal court's statement indicates: 'The federal judge declared the object of the hearing without matter, meaning that it was not even necessary for him to issue a substantive decision because the context of the matter required it, given the expressed statement from the Attorney's Office to withdraw its case.'
During the night, the Attorney General's Office responded to the statement from the Sinaloa court and clarified that it was the federal judge who delegated the arrest order against Joaquín Guzmán López, citing the judge's expressions regarding the necessary jurisdiction for this type of crime.
The FGR also confirmed that the 'hematic traces' found on the Huertos del Pedregal estate correspond to Héctor Melesio Cuén Ojeda, former rector of the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS), who was murdered on July 25.
