MEXICO CITY – A federal judge has ordered the initiation of legal proceedings against former Baja California Governor Ernesto Ruffo Appel and seven others for their alleged involvement in an organized crime network related to the smuggling and illegal trade of hydrocarbons, the Attorney General's Office (FGR) reported on Thursday. The former politician, who has been in preventive detention since Sunday, was identified as Ernesto 'N' and is being prosecuted for probable responsibility in the crimes of organized crime, smuggling, and offenses related to hydrocarbons. The Federal Public Ministry, attached to the Specialized Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime (FEMDO), presented 'compelling evidence' to support the charges and succeeded in having the judge uphold the precautionary measure of preventive detention. As a result, the former governor will remain incarcerated at the Federal Social Rehabilitation Center (Cefereso) number 1, Altiplano, in the State of Mexico.
