Cabo 16," the man allegedly responsible for paying "El Uber" and "El Huesos" for the murder of photojournalist Margarito Martínez Esquivel, as well as providing the weapon, could face a 25-year prison sentence.
This situation, although contemplated in the National Code of Criminal Procedure (CNPP), contrasts with the statements made at a press conference on March 7, 2022, by the state attorney general, Ricardo Iván Carpio Sánchez, who said that they would request the maximum penalty for those involved in the execution of the photojournalist, which occurred on March 17, 2022.
