Monterey, NL. The Governor of New Lion, Samuel Garcia Sepulvedasaid the arrest of the former governor Jaime Rodriguez Calderon for the alleged diversion of public resources to collect the signatures he needed to be a candidate for the Presidency, “it is the oldest folder”, the one with the so-called harsh signatures.
“I am going to be careful with my words so as not to affect autonomy and due process, but I do have the authority to tell you that this is the tip of the iceberg of the government of The Bronco”, commented the state president.
To the link to the process and preventive detention imposed by the Control Judge on former Governor Jaime Heliodoro “N”, we must add the crimes of theft of 4,900 million pesos in Isssteleón, the embezzlement in Water and Drainage Services of Monterrey, and the favorite employees in the Health Secretary and the former president.
“We are in communication and with great respect for the State Attorney General’s Office, we have been trying to provide all the evidence, to help and respect the autonomy of the Electoral Prosecutor, the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor and the State Attorney General of Justice,” said the president.
In this sense, the lawyer Gabriel Eduardo García, who is part of the defense of Jaime Heliodoro “N”, commented to the local press that on April 8 the initial hearing will be held to formulate charges for the requisition of the Ecovía, by the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor.
“It is an investigation folder that the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office prosecutes, I cannot give the data of the specific facts because it is an investigation that is secret, it is a folder of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, from a previous file.”
As will be recalled, on March 17, the State Judiciary Control Judge linked the former governor to trial and ordered preventive detention for the electoral crime of having received allegedly illicit contributions of money.
However, Control Judge Carlos Alberto Salas decided to refer the investigation folder to a District Judge, because the defense argued that the alleged electoral crime is of a federal nature, not local, so the investigation folder should be send to a District Judge.
In this regard, the defense attorney Gabriel Eduardo García explained that the file of the referral of the investigation folder from the common jurisdiction to the federal jurisdiction has already been received, which will be dealt with until the next business day, and they hope that next Monday, March 21 already have an update.
Regarding the searches that were carried out this Saturday, March 19, at two ranches of the former governor located in García and Galeana, the lawyer emphasized that they will wait for the result of the diligence to be able to issue an opinion and act accordingly.
