Mexico City, July 22, 2022.- “ New data has emerged that leads us to continue investigating ” the case of Pío López Obrador , said the head of the Specialized Prosecutor's Office for Electoral Crimes (FIsel), José Agustín Ortiz Pinchetti.
The prosecutor told La Jornada , "in a telegraphic manner," that the case file investigating Pío López Obrador for alleged electoral crimes will continue to be integrated, after the Seventh District Court for Ampro Matters urged Fisel to report whether it would prosecute the case or decree the non-exercise of criminal action due to lack of evidence.
Fisel had 24 hours to inform the court of the decision taken by the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office, Héctor Sánchez Zaldívar, after he reported months earlier on the existence of a proposal to not prosecute President López Obrador's brother.
However, for months, the General Legal Directorate for Electoral Crimes failed to address the proposal made by the Public Prosecutor's Office agent, and after the court ordered a 24-hour report, it is now known that the case will remain under investigation.
