The Undersecretary of Human Rights, Alejandro Encinas, reported that 40 new pieces of evidence were incorporated to strengthen the process against former Attorney General Jesús Murillo Karam, accused of hindering the investigation of the Ayotzinapa case.
Although he did not give more details, the official said that the process against Murillo Karam is being strengthened, who must remain in justified preventive detention, after a federal judge considered that the risk persists that the former official tries to escape.
Murillo Karam will remain temporarily hospitalized in the Medical Tower of Tepepan, until he is fully restored or a new opinion on his health status is prepared.
According to Encinas Rodríguez, yesterday a meeting was held with the parents of the 43 normalistas disappeared since 2014, and the new prosecutor, Rosendo Gómez Piedra.
“He has been taking control of the special unit very firmly and decisively. He made the decision to unite and attend to the entire procedural part so as not to make any mistakes in all the judicial processes that have been opened against the alleged perpetrators,” he said during his fourth report “A culture for the respect and guarantee of human rights.”

Inconsistencies
The official explained that the entire list of appropriations of the arrest warrants that were requested was reviewed and inconsistencies were found in many of them.
However, he indicated that having canceled some arrest warrants does not imply that the process of judicialization against these people will not continue, so he announced that there will be more arrests and arrest warrants related to the Ayotzinapa case.
“We are not going to back down because of more pressures and resistance that we have overcome, not only faced,” he said.

In September of this year, the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) canceled 21 arrest warrants, which it had requested in August, against former officials possibly involved in the disappearance of the 43 Ayotzinapa students.
A month later, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador accused that the Special Prosecutor’s Office for the Ayotzinapa case, of the FGR, tried to “dynamite” the federal government’s investigation into the 43 disappeared students so that no action would be taken.
