According to authorities, all of them would have actively participated in the operation that ended the life of Ximena Guzmán and José Muñoz in tasks of investigation, espionage, and concealment of information. "We are moving forward," added the authorities. The last announcements made by authorities about this crime occurred in August of last year, when Clara Brugada confirmed in a press conference the arrest of 13 people involved in the double murder. Since then, both local and federal authorities have led a series of investigations that, to date, have resulted in the arrest of thirteen people. Brugada highlighted the arrests for the murder of her advisors: "It is a message against impunity". In this context, this Monday the capital's prosecutor, Bertha Alcalde, announced that the investigations have achieved new "advances" and that they could be announced in a press conference in the coming weeks. The Attorney General of Mexico City, Bertha Alcalde, announced this Monday in a press conference that her office has made new "advances" in the investigations being conducted for the double homicide of Ximena Guzmán and José Muñoz, the chief of staff and chief of advisors to the head of government, Clara Brugada. However, the investigations have not managed to arrest the man who fired the shots or the intellectual authors of the crime. "There have been important advances, but it is fundamental that we continue to follow these lines and that at the right time we will inform," she stated. To date, as reported by LPO, authorities have managed to arrest thirteen people. "We are planning to inform about more concrete advances in relation to the information that can be given," she stated. On the morning of May 20, Mexico City lived through one of its most difficult days in recent years. The double murder shook the local administration because it involved the two people closest to the former mayor of Iztapalapa, with whom they had worked for years. Now, almost six months later, Bertha Alcalde announced new advances and revived citizen expectations. "It is important that this investigation remains in secrecy," emphasized Bertha Alcalde, who participates in the investigation tables held between local and federal authorities to determine the material and intellectual responsibilities of the double murder. "The homicide of Ximena and José is a very important case that has been investigated in conjunction with the local and federal Secretariat of Security," she assured in a press conference, where she added: "There have been important advances, but it is fundamental that we continue to follow these lines and that at the right time we will inform." In this way, the head of the Public Ministry revived the expectation that exists for knowing the truth of the double murder that struck the head of government, Clara Brugada, hard. In the morning, on Calzada de Tlalpan, Ximena Guzmán and Jose Muñoz were shot dead by a killer who waited for them at an intersection while they were heading to the Head of Government to work alongside Clara Brugada. In any case, she advanced that in the coming weeks there could be official announcements to provide more details in this regard. According to her, three of them participated directly in the criminal act while the others would have been part of the intelligence and logistics work. "In honor of Ximena and José, this government will not rest until the truth is known and justice is effective," Brugada assured at the time. "It continues to be a priority for this Prosecutor's Office."
