“There is nothing to hide,” says Rubén Rocha about the accusations made by ‘El Mayo’

Culiacan, Sin. “I’m going to say it right now. I’m going to say it there in public. Everything will be transparent, everything, there’s nothing to hide, absolutely nothing,” said the governor of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha, in the vicinity of the hospital that he will inaugurate together with President López Obrador and Claudia Sheinbaum.

The governor of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha, avoided making statements regarding the accusations made by drug lord Ismael The May Zambada has been in US custody since July 25, when he was captured.

“I’m not going to say anything to him,” he said in response to questions from reporters.

The state leader was approached by reporters near the airport in this city, when he was heading to the inauguration of the IMSS Bienestar General Hospital “Dr. Bernardo J. Gastélum”, where he will accompany President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and the virtual president-elect, Claudia Sheinbaum.

-What do you say? If you were going to meet with The May during the day? – he was asked.

“I’ll tell you there,” he replied.

Faced with the insistence, Rocha refused to speak: “I’m not going to tell you anything,” and left in his vehicle.
