More than a month after the Department of Justice unveiled an indictment against Sinaloa Gov. Rubén Rocha Moya and nine current and former public officials over alleged ties to the Sinaloa cartel and its Los Chapitos faction, many questions surrounding the case remain unanswered.
At the time of the announcement, both the United States and Mexico said they would conduct separate investigations. While developments regarding Rocha Moya's future have been scarce, Ulises Lara López, spokesperson for Mexico's Attorney General's Office, recently said neither Rocha Moya nor the other officials named in the case are the subject of an Interpol Red Notice, despite being linked in the indictment to one of Mexico's most powerful drug trafficking organizations.
