The murder of Luis Donaldo Colosio is an open case three decades later. The Prosecutor's Office has accused Jorge Antonio Sánchez Ortega before a judge.

The FGR also implicates Genaro García Luna in the case. This line of investigation demolishes the theory that Mario Aburto, the confessed murderer, acted alone. Some critics of the Government have seen a political objective in the reopening of the investigation, at a key moment for the presidential and legislative elections.
