## The Stench of Narco-Politics
In a recently released video by the Sinaloa Attorney General’s Office, intended to demonstrate the circumstances surrounding the murder of Héctor Melesio Cuén Ojeda, ex-rector of the Autonomous University of Sinaloa and political adversary of Governor Rubén Rocha Moya, the footage fails to substantiate the official narrative. The video shows a car pulling into an isolated gas station, where two people on a motorcycle approach the vehicle. One dismounts, interacts with the supposed passengers, and then leaves without any visible conflict.
This incident, which allegedly occurred on the night of July 25, has drawn significant scrutiny, partially due to a letter from Ismael Zambada García. In the communiqué, Zambada claims he was “kidnapped” by forces loyal to his godson, Joaquín Guzmán López, and flown to the United States against his will. Zambada states this took place at a meeting meant to mediate a political dispute between Cuén Ojeda and Governor Rocha Moya. He asserts witnessing Cuén’s murder before being taken.
This version starkly contrasts with the official account provided by Sinaloa authorities and Governor Rocha Moya. Questions have arisen about the authenticity of the murder occurring at the gas station, suggesting the video may not corroborate the authorities’ story. Rocha Moya denies participation and asserts he was out of the country in a private plane owned by the Vizcarra family.
Rocha Moya uses Zambada’s accusations to paint himself as a victim of a smear campaign, likening it to President López Obrador’s stance against political attacks. Interestingly, the release of Zambada’s letter coincided with a planned visit by López Obrador and President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum to inaugurate a hospital in Culiacán, allowing Rocha Moya to justify himself both privately and publicly.
While the federal attorney general has asked Rocha Moya to share his version of events, the investigation targets Joaquín Guzmán López for allegedly kidnapping and delivering a Mexican citizen to U.S. authorities. Meanwhile, the investigation into Cuén’s murder is likely to stall among many others lost in bureaucratic inertia.
