· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The Mexican government clarified on Friday that Rubén Rocha Moya's return to the position of governor of Sinaloa was a "personal decision" by the official, and that the investigation against him, along with nine others, remains in the hands of the Attorney General's Office (FGR). Rocha and nine other officials from his government were named by U.S. authorities for their alleged involvement in a "conspiracy" with leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel to import large quantities of narcotics into the United States in exchange for political support and bribes. The governor announced his return after 112 days of leave, stating that there is no evidence linking him to the U.S. allegations regarding his team's supposed ties to the Sinaloa Cartel. In a statement, the Ministry of the Interior (Segob) affirmed that the governor's reinstatement "responds exclusively to a personal determination."
