Former Morelos governor, former Mexican soccer star and current federal deputy Cuauhtémoc Blanco is facing a possible removal of immunity privileges as authorities are investigating an alleged rape case involving Blanco and his half-sister, Nidia Fabiola Blanco Fernández.
On Feb. 6, the Morelos State Prosecutor's Office formally submitted a request to the Chamber of Deputies to remove the immunity of Blanco, a current deputy for the National Regeneration Movement Party (Morena). The petition led by Uriel Carmona Gándara aims to allow a criminal investigation against Blanco for the alleged crime of sexual abuse that took place in 2023.
