Marina’s secretary, José Rafael Ojeda Durán, questioned the work of judges and public ministries in the fight against drugs and said it appears that in the judiciary one has an enemy.
At this Friday’s morning conference, Ojeda Durán spoke of a maritime operative in Guaymas, Sonora, at which 691 kilos of liquid methamphetamines were seized.
According to the Navy’s owner, the shipment was headed for Barcelona, Spain.
It could not give further details on confiscation as if it did not respect the investigation process, those responsible could be freed.

“This is a situation that must be done step by step, well monitored and well judicialized because other words, we do not have the aid of judges and public ministries (…) we have to close the circle well, because if we don’t, they’re going to leave us. There are many cases that even grief give us to act that way it seems that the enemy has it in the judiciary, and we have to close that circle well in order to carry out the arrest,” he said.
Ojeda Durán added that there are already several cases to investigate but that they will do so very carefully.
He also commented that the Ministry of the Navy was working on a reform “to put more substances” on the list of those that can be seized, substances that were used as chemical precursors in the production of methamphetamines and fentanyl.
He assured that the ports under the navy’s guard has helped limit drug racking.
