The spokesperson for the FGR, Ulises Lara López, shared details about the arrests of officials in Morelos who are allegedly linked to the Sinaloa Cartel.
During a press conference on May 20, Lara López highlighted the investigation into a recording that appears to show officials meeting with a criminal leader.
“Material disseminated by various media outlets showing the mayors of Morelos, specifically those of Cuautla and Atlataucán, elected in June 2024, as well as other officials and elected representatives of the state, was incorporated into the investigation when they likely met with Júpiter N,” the statement read.

After the material was released, the head of the Morelos State Attorney General’s Office (FGE), Édgar Antonio Maldonado Ceballos, reported that the events in question would be investigated by the authorities.
“An analysis was carried out at the Security and Coordination Roundtable for Peacebuilding, where these potential crimes will be investigated by the Attorney General’s Office (FGR), specifically its Morelos delegation,” Maldonado commented.
