‘He who owes nothing fears nothing’
The Morelos government responded that Cuauhtémoc Blanco has always been willing to collaborate in the investigations and questioned the veracity of the allegations.
“The Executive of the entity will maintain communication and openness to dialogue with the authorities that request it to follow up on this situation, as has been done with each unfounded accusation against the holder of this sovereignty, despite the fact that most have been derived from personal interests that in no way pay for the welfare of the State,” he said in a statement.
“As he has stated in previous situations, the one who owes nothing fears nothing, so it will be the legislators who analyze the reasons presented by an anti-corruption prosecutor’s office, whose head was imposed by the previous administration headed by Graco Ramírez, and that today, through the deputy prosecutor, Edgar Rodolfo Núñez presented these accusations before the Congress of this entity, “- Insisted.
Last January, the Attorney General’s Office of Morelos initiated an investigation folder against Cuauhtémoc Blanco Bravo, for the photograph where he appears with three alleged leaders of criminal groups.
The investigation is carried out at the request of 11 local opposition deputies, known as the G-11 group, who also made the request to the Attorney General’s Office (FGR), the prosecutor of the entity, Uriel Carmona, reported at the time.
