The Prosecutor's Office of Michoacán denies any formal complaint against certain politicians in the murder case of Carlos Manzo, following claims made by his wife, Uruapan Mayor Grecia Quiroz.
The Michoacán Prosecutor's Office has responded to allegations made by Grecia Quiroz, the mayor of Uruapan, regarding the murder of her husband, Carlos Manzo. Quiroz presented 11 videos that she claims demonstrate a political motive behind the assassination. However, the prosecutor, Carlos Torres Piña, clarified to the media that there is no formal complaint lodged against notable political figures from the Morenista party, including Leonel Godoy, Raúl Morón, and Ignacio Campos. Instead, Quiroz's presentation refers to a request for investigation based on the evidence she provided.
Torres Piña explained that his office will analyze the videos presented by Quiroz to determine their authenticity and ensure they were not generated through artificial intelligence. This process is crucial as the integrity of the evidence affects the potential investigation's validity and direction. The prosecutor emphasized that the task at hand involves a thorough examination of the details presented by the mayor.
Despite the lack of a formal complaint, the request for an investigation highlights the political tensions surrounding the case and the implications it might have for local governance. The situation reflects broader concerns about political violence in Mexico and raises questions regarding the safety of public figures and the trust in the judicial system to handle such critical cases fairly.
