In Sinaloan circles, there is much talk about the influence that Senator Enrique Inzunza Cázarez has over Governor Rubén Rocha Moya on issues such as governance, public security, and violence in Sinaloa. Both officials are pointed out as responsible for the state of emergency in the entity.
Inzunza exerts a strong influence over Rocha Moya, downplaying civil society protests regarding violence and calls for the governor's resignation. Rocha has expressed willingness to collaborate with the FGR, but the request for his appearance concerning an alleged falsification of the flight log has not yet been formalized, according to Raymundo Riva Palacio.
Enrique Inzunza was Secretary General of Government of Sinaloa at the beginning of Rocha's term, a position he resigned to go to the Senate. It was said that he overheard both officials having a discussion from an adjoining room. Relatives of Fausto Corrales fear for his life, as he possesses crucial information related to a case he could expose.
Rubén Rocha Moya has denied any links with drug trafficking leaders and has denied his presence at the alleged meeting. Inzunza was elected in collaboration with Morena and Senator Imelda Castro and has been linked to previous scandals, such as an intimate video where he allegedly harassed a judge.
Fausto Corrales, son of a former rector of UAS, would be a key witness in the murder of Nemesio Cuén and in a meeting between the governor and 'Mayo’ Zambada. Corrales mentioned the presence of Rocha and Inzunza at the crime scene. A previous complaint against Inzunza for sexual harassment of a judge has been reported.
The waters in Sinaloa are stirred up with calls for Rocha Moya's resignation as his permanence in office is questioned under the pressure of various factors. Civil society and authorities demand clarification of the facts and action amid a tense climate in the entity.
