Sinaloa Deputy Attorney General Damaso Castro Saavedra, one of 10 officials accused by the United States Department of Justice of having ties to the Sinaloa Cartel, filed a license request.

This was reported by the State Attorney General's Office (FGE) of Sinaloa through a statement disseminated on social networks.

Castro Saavedra said willing to attend to any request related to the complaint against him by the government of the United States, related to alleged links with organized crime.

In this way, the vice-attorney follows in the steps of the governor of Sinaloa Rubén Rocha Moya, the first official on the list that presented or license request, and from Juan de Dios Gámez Mendívil, former mayor of Culiacán who also left office in the middle of the accusations.

According to the American accusation, Dámaso Castro is nominated for irregularities related to the investigation of the murder of Héctor Melesio Cuén the afternoon they kidnapped Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, on 25 June 2024.

In addition, he is accused of allegedly receiving bribes from Los Chapitos, since he appears on lists where they referred to him under the alias “Culiacán Regio”, with monthly payments of 200,000 pesos.

With the separation of Castro Zaavedra from office, attention turns on Enrique Inzunza, senator of the Morena party who has decided to stay in the office despite the fact that he was also noted in the complaint.
