Given the accusations of Verónica Villalvazo, better known as frida warriorjournalist and activist who questioned the investigation into Pedro Carrizales, the mijisthe Tamaulipas State Attorney General (FGJ) gave his position.
Since the activist denounced the death of the mijis It wasn’t by chance but it was murder pointing out that there was evidence that he had been handcuffed.
He also brought charges against the head of the prosecutor’s office in which he linked him to Genaro Garcia Luna and even hinted that he may be responsible for the former lawmaker’s death.
In a statement, the prosecutor’s office assured that the activist’s statements lacked all truth and support and had damaged his reputation, as well as that the activist was seeking to generate a Media impact.
“It is understood that Frida Guerrera’s position comes in the context of seeking media impact to question the Tamaulipas Attorney General’s Office regarding expert work related to the death of Pedro Carrizales ‘El Mijis’.”
In the statement, they set out several points in which they refuted the activist’s accusations. For starters, they denied that prosecutor Irving Barrios Mojica worked with Felipe Calderón’s former government security secretary, Genaro Garcia Lunawho sought to discredit the prosecutor.
Secondly, they rejected that “the enemies” of the Prosecutor”accidentally died”, since it “voluntarily imputes acts that are totally false and seek to criminalize” the prosecutor.
And as a third point, they alleged that the claim that the prosecutor never concluded a case was a lie, because during the administration of Barrios Mojica, sentences, arrests and links to the process have been committed.
After that, they established that from the studies carried out it could be deduced that the death was due to a land traffic accident, with injuries caused by the impact of the vehicle and the fire derived from the fall of the unit at a drop.
They also indicated that specialists from the Office of the Attorney General of the Republic participated in the expert work (FGR) as well as those of the states of Nuevo León, Coahuila and San Luis Potosí, in addition to those of the General Scientific Directorate of the National Guard.
“Therefore, it is not possible – in the face of this accumulation of evidence – to express disagreement by publishing slanders and lies, taking advantage of a high-impact forum, in order to affect the institutional reputation and the prosecutor General of Justice of Tamaulipas.”
After spending several days away on a road trip Piedras Negras-Laredo, on February 3, 2022, the body of Pedro Carrizales was located inside his truck. The unit has completely burnt out.
A month later, authorities determined that the politician had died following a car accident. However, the release has been questioned from the start due to the history of threats against it.
Furthermore, the activist and journalist indicated that the mijis he would have been tied with a wire to the seat of his car, he had broken legs and one severe blow to the skull.
“There is a lot of evidence to know that they killed him and we don’t know the reasons why the Tamaulipas prosecutor’s office makes the decision to maintain that it was an accident, we know that This was not the case.”
After what was declared before President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), he indicated that there would be a possible reopening of the investigation to clarify the death of former legislator if there were any doubts.
“We will continue to investigate if necessary. There is no reason to set aside if there are doubts or if there is data or evidence,” he commented during the March 8 conference.
