The Mexican governor accused by the U.S. of aiding the Sinaloa Cartel returns to his post

Rubén Rocha Moya, a Mexican governor accused by United States prosecutors of aiding the Sinaloa Cartel, has returned to his official position. The governor has maintained his innocence, characterizing the accusations as a political attack.
