Overview
- The governor, who led a Tuesday ceremony honoring prosecutors, investigators, and forensic staff, highlighted México Evalúa naming Michoacán the top state for lower impunity.
- The study reports a 67.68% impunity rate in the state, far below the roughly 89% national average, which the governor said means about one in three reported crimes is pursued and resolved.
- México Evalúa credits stronger movement from investigation to judicialization, fewer temporary case closures, and broad use of alternative legal resolutions that close cases without a full trial.
- The organization flagged outliers in Michoacán’s data tied to heavy reliance on these mechanisms, noting that about 23.36% of cases are settled this way in prosecutors’ offices and courts.
- State leaders framed the result as proof of coordination and improving security, with the governor claiming the “best Fiscalía” and citing a drop from 274 monthly homicides in 2021 to 60 in March as the office honored 30 staff and mourned a slain forensic expert.
