The former Monterrey official, Karina Barrón, has been charged with extortion and false statements. A federal judge ordered her arrest, and she is being held at a women's rehabilitation center. The hearing lasted nearly eight hours. In her statement, Barrón publicly apologized to anyone affected by the situation and expressed her willingness to cooperate with the investigation. The Monterrey administration did not support Barrón. In response, Mayor Adrián de la Garza has delegated control of social programs to Rafael Ramos.
