MEXICO: Former Chihuahua governor arrested
Mexico’s federal attorney general’s office (FGR) announced the arrest of the former Chihuahua state governor, César Duarte (2010-2016), on 8 December on charges of money laundering. The move marks a major step towards bringing Duarte, a member of the centrist opposition Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI), to justice. It also marks one of the first significant moves of the FGR under its new head, Ernestina Godoy, indicating that she is likely to crack down on politicians allegedly linked to corruption [WR-25-48]. However, it remains to be seen whether Godoy will decide to pursue those linked to President Claudia Sheinbaum’s ruling left-wing Movimiento Regeneración Nacional (Morena) as well as opposition figures.
