Rosario Robles’ process will be long and complicated, said her lawyer, Epigmenio Mendieta. He announced that next Monday he will meet with the former secretary of Social Development (Sedesol) and Agrarian, Territorial and Urban Development (Sedatu) in order to address pending legal issues, after he left the Santa Martha Acatitla women’s prison on Friday to continue his trial in freedom.

“Rosario Robles has to face the process and will have to prove whether she is innocent or declared guilty, but today she has the opportunity to collect all the evidence that is necessary to prove her innocence.

The process is going to be long, and it seems to me that it is complicated due to the large number of test media, but we are confident that we have prepared a good strategy. And we are going to face what has to be faced, of course, as we have been doing, from the loyalty that has to be in front of the judges.

He added that the release of the former Secretary of State should be a celebration of justice. Today the Judicial Power of the Federation has shown that it is that dike and that guarantor for legality regardless of the interests of a political nature that may be held in any matter..

The former official of the government of Enrique Peña Nieto, who left the Santa Martha Acatitla prison last night, is accused of her alleged responsibility in the crime of improper exercise of public office and damage to the treasury for more than 5 billion pesos.

Robles Berlanga will continue to comply with a couple of precautionary measures: presentation fortnightly directly to the Attorney General’s Office and the prohibition to leave the country with the consequent alert report to the National Migration Institute (INM).

Yesterday, Francisco Robles Berlanga, Rosario’s brother, posted a photo on his Twitter account with family and friends. Rosario Robles again with her family, friends and friends. Congratulations, we are happy to have you with us again. Thanks to [email protected] for their support and solidarity that sheltered us during these three long years.
