Investigative journalist Anabel Hernández analyzes the decision of the Attorney General's Office of Mexico to exonerate former Secretary of Defense Salvador Cienfuegos. The writer also assures that the speed with which the Mexican Prosecutor's Office resolved "such a complex case" is worrying. Cienfuegos returned to Mexico in November 2020, after a US judge dismissed the criminal charges against him. The retired general was accused of abusing his public position to help a Mexican cartel smuggle drugs into the United States in exchange for bribes. Cienfuegos has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
