Chihuahua recognized César Jáuregui as responsible for the CIA case: “How can a prosecutor be the first to violate the law?” Sheinbaum questions.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has publicly criticized an anti-drug operation conducted in April involving U.S. agents, labeling the actions as highly irresponsible. The operation was carried out under the responsibility of César Gustavo Jáuregui Moreno, the former attorney general of the northern state of Chihuahua.

Authorities in Chihuahua have acknowledged Jáuregui as the primary responsible official for the involvement of four U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) agents in the operation. President Sheinbaum questioned the legality of the actions, pointedly asking how a prosecutor could be the first to violate the law. Following these developments, Jáuregui has recently been detained on charges of treason against the country in connection with the case.
