"Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated, 'My position on these events is as follows: truth, justice and the defence of sovereignty.' She emphasized the need for credible evidence to support US claims against Rocha."
"'If the Attorney General's Office receives clear and irrefutable evidence under Mexican law, it must proceed in accordance with the law under our jurisdiction,' Sheinbaum added, stressing the importance of legal processes."
"'We will not shield anyone who has committed a crime; however, if there is no clear evidence, it is evident that the aim of these charges by the [US] Department of Justice is political,' Sheinbaum remarked."
Ruben Rocha and nine others face indictment for alleged connections to the Sinaloa cartel, with accusations of facilitating drug trafficking and political corruption. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has expressed skepticism regarding the US claims, demanding credible evidence to support the allegations. She emphasized that any proven wrongdoing would be addressed under Mexican law, but suggested that the charges may be politically motivated. The indictment could potentially strain US-Mexico relations, particularly given the involvement of Rocha's gubernatorial campaign and alleged cartel interference in elections.
