**Sheinbaum Calls for Patience on FGR Investigation Concerning “El Mayo” and the Murder of Cuén**
On August 22, 2024, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, the President-elect, emphasized the need for patience as investigations by the Fiscalía General de la República (FGR) continue. The case in question involves the alleged abduction of the Sinaloa cartel leader Ismael Mario Zambada García, known as “El Mayo,” by Joaquín Guzmán López, alias “El Güero Moreno,” the 38-year-old son of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán. Additionally, the FGR is probing the murder of Héctor Melesio Cuén Ojeda, leader of the Partido Sinaloense (PAS), a newly elected federal deputy, and former rector of the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS), who was assassinated on July 25, 2024, in Culiacán de Rosales.
During a press conference held at her transition house in Iztapalapa, Sheinbaum was asked about the FGR’s recent update stating that the property where “El Mayo” was allegedly held had been secured and an arrest warrant for Guzmán López had been issued for illegal deprivation of liberty. Sheinbaum responded by underscoring the importance of legal processes and the rule of law.
“The decision rests with the Fiscalía. Beyond the individual involved, it is imperative to follow legal procedures. No one can be detained against their will without a warrant. If accusations of drug trafficking or homicide are made, it’s the responsibility of the Fiscalía to carry out the necessary detentions. This must be clearly understood,” Sheinbaum stated.
She further pointed out the resignation of the Sinaloa state prosecutor, Sara Bruna Quiñonez Estrada, following a miscommunication regarding the events. “The Sinaloa prosecutor’s office reported the incident, and the prosecutor resigned owing to an incorrect version of the events. The process should continue under the jurisdiction of the Fiscalía, respecting everyone’s right to a fair trial,” Sheinbaum concluded.
