Julieta RamÃrez Denies Being Under Investigation by U.S. Authorities
Julieta RamÃrez, a senator on leave and candidate for the governor of Baja California, has been reported to be under investigation by U.S. authorities. Reports indicate that RamÃrez signed a "proffer agreement," a legal document where a person agrees to provide information to the San Diego County Office of the U.S. Department of Justice in exchange for potential leniency if they are taken to trial for suspected criminal activities. RamÃrez denied the reports, calling the allegations a "mitote" and stating that no evidence was presented to support the claims. She also dismissed the journalist who reported the news, noting that the news outlet did not clarify the specific charge against her or provide the document citing the agreed meetings. The Morena party leadership has responded to the allegations by stating that the party will only consider investigations carried out by Mexican authorities as valid.
