Julio Scherer Ibarra, former Legal Adviser to the Presidency, reverted the leaks that place him as an extortionist from public office in relevant cases and accused that these implications were orchestrated by former Minister of the Interior Olga Sánchez Cordero, in alliance with the Attorney General of the Republic, Alejandro Gertz Manero.

In a testimony published in the weekly newspaper Proceso, the lawyer revealed the differences that led to the leadership of power led by Andrés Manuel López Obrador. From the current Office of the Attorney General of the Republic and who was in charge of the Ministry of the Interior, he said he was persecuted to tarnish his name.

However, he decided to offer his version, because it indicates that they found what most affects him: his family. Hence, he attributed obsessions with affecting him, mainly, with alleged extortion to lawyer Juan Collado, a litigator of the power of prisism, who has been imprisoned for more than two years for crimes of organized crime and money laundering in alleged millionaire mobilizations in bank accounts in Spain and Andorra.

“This is the origin of the attacks that I have had to endure,” said Scherer Ibarra, on the rivalries that now make him the culprit of agreements from the highest levels of the federal public administration.
