Alfonso Durazo Montaño, governor of Sonora, expressed his support for President Claudia Sheinbaum in response to the comments made by Jeffrey Lichtman, lawyer for drug traffickers Ovidio Guzmán and Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, against the Mexican government.
At an event led by Sheinbaum Pardo in Sonora, the governor called the lawyer’s statements “disrespectful, unacceptable, and deceitful,” accusing him of “having ties to confessed criminals for commercial purposes.”
“President, I’m getting involved in a current issue. It’s not my place, but I won’t let it go. The recent statements by the lawyer of a drug trafficker, whom the United States has gone from considering a terrorist to now establishing a collaboration agreement with its prosecutors.
“This lawyer’s statements are disrespectful, unacceptable, mendacious, and typical of someone like this lawyer who has relationships with confessed criminals for commercial reasons, derived from the money he receives for his services as a defense attorney,” she said.
She asserted that the Sonora government rejects and condemns Lichtman’s accusations against the governor, stating that “unlike the lawyer,” Sheinbaum is not corrupt nor is she an accomplice to anyone who is guilty of corruption.
