The Attorney General's Office of Mexico City (FGJCDMX) announced that new arrest warrants were completed against Cuauhtémoc Gutiérrez de la Torre, a former PRI leader in the country's capital, for his probable involvement in the crimes of attempted human trafficking and criminal association.
Through a video, the capital's prosecutor, Ernestina Godoy, detailed that other arrest warrants were also completed against Adriana Rodríguez Regalado and Claudia Priscila Martínez González, alleged recruiters of the network headed by Gutiérrez de la Torre.
According to Ernestina Godoy, the crimes charged to the three are that of attempted trafficking in persons and criminal association, after new victims filed complaints.
“Detectives of the Investigative Police, attached to the Office of the Prosecutor for Investigation of Crimes involving Trafficking in Persons, notified Adriana “N” and Claudia “N” of the court orders at the Santa Martha Acatitla Women's Center, while Cuauhtémoc “G”, was notified inside the Federal Center for Social Rehabilitation Number One,” he detailed in the video.
The capital's prosecutor specified that the hearing was held in the Oriente Preventive Prison in order to take the preparatory statement of the three accused persons, but “in the case of women, they reserved their right”.
He explained that by Tuesday, March 22, the legal situation of the defendants will be resolved “with the evidence we have presented, we hope that the judicial authority will issue them a formal imprisonment order”, he said.
Godoy Ramos called on “other potential victims of this human trafficking network to go to the Prosecutor's Office and file their complaint. Trust us, as I said at the time, we will not allow impunity,” he emphasized.
“Although the investigative acts carried out during the past administration were deficient, omitted and far from the duty to seek justice, the Public Prosecutor's Office was instructed to refine the investigation, which allowed evidence to be obtained against Cuauhtémoc “N” and other likely partners. And it is precisely this evidence and only the evidence, that supports the accusation, not the political or social activity of the persons subject to criminal investigation,” he said.
It should be recalled that on December 29, 2021, agents of the Investigative Police (PDI) arrested Cuauhtémoc Gutiérrez de la Torre, known as “The King of Garbage” for crimes of trafficking in persons in its form of sexual exploitation.
In 2014, a report broadcast on MVS Radio by a team of reporters from Carmen Aristegui exposed the human trafficking network within the PRI facilities in Mexico City, whose leader at that time was precisely Cuauhtémoc Gutiérrez de la Torre.
The report revealed that both Claudia Priscila Martínez González and Adriana Rodríguez Regalado reportedly recruited young, attractive women to provide sexual services to Gutiérrez de la Torre and were hired as party workers, for which they were paid with public money.
After the scandal that led to the journalistic investigation, he was dismissed from office in 2014, but was not punished criminally.
It was until 2020, when the head of government Claudia Sheinbaum and prosecutor Ernestina Godoy reported that the case had been opened again due to various irregularities in the investigation.
Along with the capture of Gutierrez de la Torre, Claudia Priscila Martínez and Adriana Rodríguez, Sandra Esther Vaca Cortes and Roberto Zamorano were also accused.
