FGR Denies Interpol's Capture Order Cancellation for Ex-Governor

The Mexican General Prosecutor's Office (FGR) confirmed that Interpol has not revoked the international arrest warrant for former Tamaulipas governor Francisco García Cabeza de Vaca. The FGR stated the claims made by Cabeza de Vaca about the cancellation are false, emphasizing ongoing legal processes against him regarding organized crime and money laundering.


FGR Denies Interpol's Capture Order Cancellation for Ex-Governor

The Attorney General's Office (FGR) denied that Interpol has withdrawn the international arrest warrant against the former PAN governor of Tamaulipas, Francisco García Cabeza de Vaca. In response to Cabeza de Vaca's claim that the notification of the red notice had been annulled, the FGR clarified that it is an "unresolved amparo."

According to the FGR, the former governor is accused of organized crime and money laundering on two separate occasions. The office of Alejandro Gertz Manero stated that Interpol has not removed the red notice and that the process is still ongoing.

Despite the FGR's statement, Cabeza de Vaca insisted that Interpol had definitively canceled the red notice against him, claiming that the allegations against him lack legal basis and are based on a campaign of political persecution against him.

The FGR later clarified that Interpol's decision was a "suspension at the moment," meaning temporary and not final. Cabeza de Vaca has received this suspension of his international search for several crimes temporarily, awaiting the resolution of the appeals filed by the FGR. In Tamaulipas, amparo judges have issued resolutions in favor of the former governor, although not final.
