“How outrageous that the murderer of a journalist like Javier has more privileges and remains free,” lamented Griselda Triana.
In January 2020, the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) obtained an arrest warrant against Dámaso López Serrano.
At that time, the institution in charge of Alejandro Gertz Manero reported that it had already initiated “all the necessary steps to obtain the extradition” of López Serrano.
“El Mini Lic” turned himself in to US authorities in July 2017 at the border because the children of Joaquín Guzmán Loera, better known as “El Chapo”, were looking for him to kill him.
