Chivis Martinez Borderland Beat from
El Pais and
Reforma
The
man WSJ named as one of top ten most corrupt politicians in Mexico-- The former president of the PRI had
sued the columnist for moral damage, a practice in Mexico to harass the press. From the journalist’s editorial; "Moreira
is a politician who gives off the corrupt stench, who in the best scenario was
ignored in the face of terrible human rights violations committed in Coahuila,
and who, finally, is a standard-bearer of the renowned Mexican impunity."

Dr. Sergio Aguayo can now sleep
peacefully, after three years of "horror". Living a hell of courts,
lawyers, amparos and hearings, that had become the central part of his life
since he decided to write a column denouncing the corruption of Humberto
Moreira's government in Coahuila (north/East Mexico).
A judge has issued this
week a ruling in favor of the Mexican journalist, writer and historian, with 48
years of experience, where he is acquitted of any crime of damage to morals, as
the ex-governor had demanded.
On January 20, 2016, the
text in which Aguayo denounced the Mexican authorities' passivity in the fight
against corruption in the case of the ex-governor of Coahuila, who became former
president of the national PRI, was published in the Mexican newspaper Reforma. [read article at bottom]
At that time, he had been
arrested in Madrid for crimes of criminal organization, money laundering,
embezzlement of public funds and bribery, one month later, he was released.
Moreover, the journalist
in that column, said: "Moreira is a politician who gives off the corrupt
stench, who in the best scenario was ignored in the face of terrible human
rights violations committed in Coahuila, and who, finally, is a standard-bearer
of the renowned Mexican impunity." A few words used by Moreira's defense
to argue his claim for moral damage against the writer. And that this week has
dismissed a judge for "lack of evidence" against the writer.
