Regarding the person detained this morning near the Villa Frontera housing unit, Víctor León explained that he was arrested for the crime of drug dealing and not for the case of murder of Esmeralda Gallardo.
“They are not accusing him of the murder, this is what his lawyer tells me, that they are accusing him of a drug dealing problem and it seems to me that the Puebla State Prosecutor’s Office will mean that the drug dealing report would have could have dealt with an alleged addiction to Betzabé, with the reason for his revolt and the time of the murder of Esmeralda ”, he specified.
The lawyer said in an interview with Azucena Uresti for Radio Formula that the case of the research mother has become somewhat obscure, as the detainee would be “planted with drugs”.

His son tells me they plant drugs for him, his father has never taken drugs, “he said.
