(Updated with admission to former governor's prison) Monterrey (Mexico), March 15, the former governor of Mexico Nuevo León Jamie Rodriguez Calderón “El Bronco” (2015-2021) was arrested on Tuesday for alleged conversion of public resources in the 2018 incident, local authorities told Efe. “On March 15, 2022, an arrest warrant against the aforementioned person, issued by a control and oral trial judge in the state of Nuevo León, was implemented on the possibility of participating in a case with the characteristics of an electoral crime.” The Office of the Prosecutor's Office specializing in election crimes in Nuevo, Leon talked about the arrest of “Jamie Heliodoro 'N'”. In the same text, he explained that the arrest was carried out by the prosecutor's office specializing in electoral crimes with the operational support of employees of the State Investigation Agency in cooperation with civil military officers. “The person under investigation will be detained at the State Social Reintegration Center at the disposal of the supervisory judge to resolve the legal situation,” the text points out. El Bronco was arrested and deported to the apodaka prison in this northern state when he left the ranch in the municipality of General Terran. A few hours later, Rodriguez Calderon entered a prison located in the municipality of Afodaka at 15.45 local time (21.45 GMT) and was submitted to the Prosecutor's Office to inform him of the charges against him. Rodríguez Calderón (Rodríguez Calderón), who is already in prison, has been accused of using public resources for the election campaign for the presidency in 2018, and within the next 24 hours the control judge will decide whether to order a trial for the crime in question. “Being incorruptible begins not by stealing, but by punishing those who have converted by stealing money in a campaign in Nuevo León. Samuel Garcia, the new governor of Nuevo León, tweeted with the labels “Nuevo Leon Incorruptible” and “Broncosignas.” “Anyone who steals public resources or switches to friends, nephews, favorites or campaigns will go to jail,” said State President Movimiento Ciudadano (MC), in a short video message that García did not name it. The arrest of the former governor caused an incident known as “Broncofirmas” that has been in the hands of the Ministry of Justice for many years. Jaime Rodríguez claimed that human and material resources were diverted to use state officials to obtain the necessary signatures to compete in the elections. He held the position of President of Mexico in 2018. In addition, it was recently reported that two accounts for former first-level officials of the Rodriguez Calderon government were frozen as a precaution. After 30 years of belonging to the ruling system Revolutionary Party (PRI), Bronco became Mexico's first independent governor in 2015 when it won an election in Nuevo León, one of the richest states in the United States with a strong industry. The wild horse, as is widely known, was an independent candidate for the presidency of Mexico in 2018, but lost to Andrés Manuel López Obrador (Andrés Manuel López Obrador). During the period when he was a presidential candidate, Rodriguez Calderon applied for leave to temporarily leave the post of state presidency from early to mid-2018. Controversially, he claimed that he would “mocha” (block) the hands of thieves and corrupt people in the campaign.Chief jc/mrg/cfa (Photo)
