Michoacán Prosecutor Expands Probe Into Uruapan Mayor’s Killing, Will Summon All Necessary Officials

Prosecutors pledge an open-ended probe into possible payments and associates tied to the alleged municipal leak to cartel operatives.

Overview

  • At least 10 Uruapan municipal officials have given statements, and the prosecutor says additional figures will be called as evidence develops.
  • The FGE arrested Samuel N, a municipal public relations director accused of supplying minute‑by‑minute details for at least 15 days to attack coordinator Jorge Armando N.
  • Investigators are examining whether Samuel N received compensation beyond two small packets of cocaine allegedly delivered by Josué N on orders of the CJNG figure known as El M2.
  • The agency says it may scrutinize Samuel N’s close circle and subordinates, stressing that no lines of inquiry are being ruled out.
  • Authorities clarified that witnesses such as Yesenia Méndez and interim mayor Grecia Quiroz face no judicial process, and Méndez’s appearances were voluntary.
