### Rubén Rocha Denies Alleged Ties to “Mayo” Zambada: “We Have No Complicity with Anyone”
Sinaloa’s Governor, Rubén Rocha Moya, has refuted claims of any association or complicity with the notorious drug lord Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada. This response follows a letter alleging that “El Mayo” was ambushed and arrested while on his way to meet with Rocha.
Speaking firmly, Rocha stated, “We have no complicity with anyone, and this aligns with the President’s policy. Hence, any assertions that I would be present are outright lies; anyone who believed this fell into a trap.”
The Governor further emphasized, “I have repeatedly told journalists that there is absolutely nothing, nothing, that can link me to this matter. I state this categorically and unequivocally.”
At a public event alongside President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Rocha Moya addressed the stigma associated with Sinaloa, often seen as a nexus for organized crime. “It is common for any information related to this topic to be overly sensationalized in Sinaloa. We must acknowledge the history, but we fight against the stigma that everything and everyone is involved,” he insisted.
Regarding the events of July 25, when both “El Mayo” Zambada and Joaquín Guzmán, son of “El Chapo” Guzmán, were arrested, Rocha pointed out he was not in Sinaloa. “A letter claimed the event occurred on July 25, where these individuals were detained and alleged that Governor Rubén Rocha Moya was among those referenced,” he explained. “Allegedly, this was a lure for Zambada to attend the meeting.”
Rocha reiterated that he does not need any meeting arranged by organized crime figures to resolve governmental issues.
