Nearly four months after the disappearance of Carlos Emilio Galván Valenzuela in Mazatlán, his mother denounced that Sinaloa authorities have stalled key investigative steps, forcing the family to face omissions, delays, and resort to legal means to access the case file.
Brenda Valenzuela, the mother of the young man from Durango, stated in an interview with Radio Fórmula that the family had to file for federal protection to access the investigation file and propose investigative steps, after the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) and the Deputy Attorney General’s Office for the Southern Zone denied basic information about the progress of the case.
“In these latest requests, they argue and ask us to reconsider what we are requesting because of their workload, because they are in Mazatlán during the carnival, which makes it very difficult to attend to requests,” she stated.
