Dueling Complaints After Senate Brawl Put Case Before FGR as Congress Weighs Condemnation

The prosecutor reviews rival complaints from Gerardo Fernández Noroña versus Alejandro Moreno ahead of a legislative censure debate.

Overview

  • Gerardo Fernández Noroña and his aide Emiliano González filed criminal complaints with the FGR over the confrontation that occurred in a federal precinct.
  • Alejandro “Alito” Moreno submitted a reciprocal complaint alleging threats and injuries and requested entry into the federal protection mechanism through Segob.
  • Fernández Noroña convened a Friday session of the Comisión Permanente to vote a condemnation, while PAN said it will not attend, calling the convocation irregular and retaliatory.
  • After PRI supporters rallied for Moreno in Mexico City, authorities fenced off the quadrant around the old Senate headquarters in Xicoténcatl and restricted access.
  • Officials said the FGR will assess precautionary measures and any referral tied to desafuero, as the agency separately pursues a cocaine-seizure diversion probe with seven people under inquiry.
