Attorney General orders Jesus Reyna Garcia, the Michoacán Government Secretary and former acting governor, to render a statement to the MP
The Attorney General's Office reported that Friday afternoon, Reyna Garcia complied with the order of the PGR , and was transferred to Mexico City to issue a declaration.
This order derives from an investigation conducted by the PGR , reported the federal agency
Reyna Garcia’s statement was still being conducted late night Friday, before the Public Prosecutor's Office.
Although it did not specify the reason Reyna appeared, there have long been signs of his possible links with organized crime groups operating in the state, namely Caballeros Templarios.
Among those who have made these observations and issued complaints, are members of the autodefensas of Michoacán that emerged in February 2013.
Reyna had been purported in having ties with CT by Senator Luisa Maria Calderon and autodefensas leader, José Manuel Mireles. Claims were also made that Reyna Garcia’s wife is sister of the leader of the “Templars”, Servando Gomez, alias La Tuta.
In November 2013 Reyna Garcia issued a statement categorically denying any role or link to organized crime.
Today Michoacán government officials were not available to discuss the case.
This surprise move could go one of two ways, if an investigation with integrity is conducted it could mean a strong beginning into cleaning corruption in Michoacán, however, it could also find in Reyna Garcias’ (pictured below) favor and an EPN declaration of Reyna Garcia being innocent of the claims and having no ties to organized crime.
