The former governor of Coahuila, Humberto Moreira, sued again the researcher, journalist and academic Sergio Aguayo; this time it was for damage to honor.
This morning, the investigator reported that a few days ago the former governor denounced him for the second time and demanded another economic reparation, still without determining the amount.
On this occasion, he said, it is for “damaging his image and honor” for the investigation he coordinated into the violence in La Laguna, in Coahuila.
In a message on social networks, he indicated that he will respond to the lawsuit in the courts of Mexico City and that he will continue to say what he thinks. “Humberto Moreira will not shut me up,” he said.

In June 2016, former governor Humberto Moreira sued Sergio Aguayo and demanded payment of 10 million pesos for committing “moral damage” against him for the publication of a column in the newspaper Reforma on January 20, 2016.
In that column, published days after Moreira Valdés was arrested in Spain, accused of money laundering, Aguayo said:
“Moreira is a politician who gives off the corrupt stench; that in the best of scenarios he was ignored in the face of terrible human rights violations committed in Coahuila, and that, finally, he is a standard-bearer of the renowned Mexican impunity,” he published in 2016.
Sergio Aguayo indicated that the first lawsuit has not yet been resolved and is being reviewed in the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation.
