Prisoner of 19 years for a false crime

Mexico On May 26, the 19th anniversary of the incarceration of Manuel Germán Ramírez Valdovinos, Mexican accused and sentenced for the murder of a living man, will be celebrated. The father of the "murdered" claimed the life insurance of a million dollars.

Manuel was arrested on the night of May 26, 2000 in Tepexpan, eastern Mexico. He was 22 years old and had returned from his position as a music teacher in a school. He had organized with his wife Esther, a small celebration of the first month of his life, his only son. Until a commando of eight members of the judicial police force violently entered his home, shot dead more than 20 people and, after brutally beat and handcuffed him, he l? took away.

"It has been proven that the person who allegedly killed my husband is still alive, I am asking for justice and the freedom of my husband, imprisoned for 19 years for a fabricated crime." Itzel Del Campo's claim to the wife of Manuel Germán ramirez.

After 24 hours of detention during which he was hanged, he showed him the arrest warrant and formalized the "homicide" charge of Manuel Martínez Elizalde. Valdovinos remembers that when entering the justice center, he had seen the father of the alleged victim complain to the agents: "Not this one, it's my father's son and he's going to m & rsquo; # 39; s arm. " The commander replied: "You have given us three badholes and here they are.Now it is supported because everything is already armed public prosecutor". He would then learn that the man had agreed to pay 150,000 insurance dollars to the agents. Ramírez Valdovinos was sentenced to 43 years in prison for homicide. All the evidence against him was a joke. The corpse was totally different from that of the alleged victim. The tone of the skin was different, it was three centimeters shorter than Martínez Elizalde and did not have the same scars.

Already imprisoned and thanks to his relatives, Manuel knew that the so-called "death", Martinez Elizalde, always came to Tepexpan to participate in the festivities, lived a few days in the large house that his father had bought with his life insurance, then He returned to the United States where he lived (and lives) with another identity and with some physical changes (presumably the result of plastic surgeries). According to the Istanbul Protocol, Manuel should be published once the corresponding recommendation has been made to the Government of Mexico.
