“Do not crucify him”: lawyer for “Güero” Palma appealed to López Obrador

Prohibited Héctor Palma Salazar, the Guero, called the president Andrés Manuel López Obrador so that the capo is not prosecuted again for crimes he would have already paid with 26 years in prison, both in Mexico and the United States.

José Gabriel Martín Hernández Rodríguez, one of the lawyers, told a press conference that the Guero Palma is unfairly entrenched and there is no evidence to support the same charges that, at the time, were analyzed, tried and convicted.

The defender explained that López Obrador, perhaps, would be misinformed about the case. But he made a request on behalf of relatives and his client so that the president of the republic considered a person who has already served his sentence and has been acquitted, after the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) failed to find him responsible for organized crime.

“Mr. President, on behalf of society, on behalf of defenders, of the family, in the name of God, I ask you not to crucify Jesús Héctor Palma SalazarHernández Rodríguez implored.

In turn, the litigant asked the director general to be demanding with his advisers to reach the agreement reached between the Guero Palma and the US government, by the Southern District of California court. Well, these documents show that the friend of Joaquín Guzmán Loera, the Chapo, He has already been prosecuted in his responsibilities and, if the case succeeds again, an injustice would be committed.

In addition, The lawyer questioned whether the Ministry of External Relations (SRE) was the body that reported on the resolution. of the Federal Court of Criminal Procedure of the Second District of the State of Jalisco. Well, according to Hernández Rodríguez, the Foreign Ministry has no jurisdiction over public security. It should be noted that the SRE issued the statement with the Secretariat for Citizen Security and Protection (SSPC).

Martínez Rodríguez argued that His client was not committing any crime, so it was inadmissible to order an emergency arrest. Given that He was arrested in 1995, he could not have committed any crimes after that date, as presumed. Well, surveys indicate that ordered the murder of two policemen in Nayarit in 1996.

In addition, he has no murder or injury charges. Although he has been charged with possession of narcotics, he has already paid for seven years behind bars and he was acquitted of the crime of organized crime. After being extradited to the United States in 2007 and then tried, he was released for good conduct in 2016.

On the other hand, these charges in the Nayarit case would have been established, after experts verified at the time that the traces of the alleged perpetrators had been falsified. Even, the lawyer said, the fingerprints turned out to match a subject washing cars outside the prosecution.

To say defense, there was no risk of leakage because the Guero Palma does not have a passport or visa, let alone a driving license, since spending more than two decades behind bars.

Palma Salazar was favored to leave the Federal Center for Social Rehabilitation number 1 “Altiplano” April 30. On May 1, the notification to the SSyPC arrived, but The institution decided to verify that the capo did not have pending accounts in any of the country’s 32 prosecutor’s offices, while the SRE consulted with the US government in case it had extradition orders. or has been involved in a charge.

Rosa icanda rodriguez, head of the SSPC, explained last Monday that the resolution of the court of Jalisco had been signed by the secretary of the court acting as judge and not by the titular judge. Therefore, on that same May 1, the corresponding checks began, which were still ongoing until May 5.

“An order cannot be issued to release a detainee accused of organized crime on a Saturday morning, known as ‘sabadazo’, then a strict order to release him at night, and again until yesterday another order to release him at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. It was only after this last requirement that the extension of a period of 48 hours was carried out.President López Obrador said at his May 3 morning conference.

This Wednesday, May 5 the Guero Palma entered the National Center of Arraigo in the Doctores district, Office of the mayor of Cuauhtémoc, where he will stay at least until June 15. The FGR obtained this precautionary measure pending receipt of test data and due to the suspected risk of theft.

At dawn on May 4, when the capo was about to leave the Altiplano prison, He was arrested on an “urgent matter” and transferred to the Office of the Special Prosecutor for Investigating Organized Crime. in Mexico City. He was detained there, where he testified, until about 1:40 p.m. on Wednesday, he was taken to the arraigo center.
