Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum rejected accusations of ties between the ruling Morena party and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., the boxer arrested in the U.S. last week and accused of being linked to the Sinaloa Cartel.
Speaking at her daily press conference, Sheinbaum noted that the accusations are not new and only resurfaced due to the arrest of Chavez Jr. in California last week. "When there is an accusation, it must be proven. And if it's a criminal one, there must be a file and a judge needs to go through the evidence to determine whether to issue an arrest warrant," Sheinbaum said.
