A court denied definitive protection to the mother-in-law of “El Bronco”

A district court in criminal matters denied definitive protection to Maria Teresa Martínez Galván, mother-in-law of the former governor of Nuevo Leon, Jaime Rodríguez Calderón, better known as El Bronco.

According to Milenio, the lady sought protection against any arrest warrant or order to appear before any court, but she was denied legal recourse.

“The definitive suspension is denied. The present incident of suspension is declared without matter”, states file 203/2022 issued by the Fifth District Court in criminal matters.

According to the media, the Court requested that all relevant parties be notified of the resolution. “In order that they have the corresponding legal effects, impose on their content and enforce the statements appropriate to their interests, add with a view to the parties within eight days, the justified reports submitted by the responsible parties: 1. Judge of Criminal Control and Trial in the State of Nuevo León (who responds to offices 7799/2022, 7800/2022, 7801/2022 and 7802/2022); and, 2. Legal Director of the State Investigations Agency. In a different context, add to the file, the reason elaborated by the federal authority for the secondment, from which it follows that the authority named “Coordinator, Commander-in-Chief in Charge and/or Head of the State Investigation Agency Attached to the Specialized Prosecutor for Electoral Crimes of the State of Nuevo León”, points out the amparo procedure.

El Bronco's mother-in-law is reported to be involved in alleged anomalies, such as raising her salary to obtain a high pension for retirement.

His daughter, Adalina Davalos Martínez, wife of the former governor, also received a setback from justice who sought protection against any arrest, detention or appearance warrants that may be issued to her, since on March 23, the former first lady of the northern state had already achieved indefinite protection.

Adalina Davalos' legal appeal was filed after elements of the State Attorney General's Office conducted several searches on the properties of Jaime Rodríguez, where 2 million 100 thousand pesos in cash, two safes, a 30x30 rifle and a 357 magnum revolver were seized.

It should be recalled that on March 15, Jaime Rodríguez Calderón was arrested and taken to the Apodaca 2 Prison for alleged electoral crimes, specifically in the case of so-called bronchosignatures, for which a supervisory judge linked him to the trial and imposed him in preventive detention.

However, the local judge declared himself incompetent in the matter and passed the matter to a federal court.

The hearing of the former state president of Nuevo León will be held on April 12 at 9:00 in the morning (local time) before a federal judge, where it will be determined whether he attracts the complaint for the use of resources of unlawful origin that he allegedly used to obtain the necessary signatures and thus obtain his candidacy as independent of the presidency of Mexico in the 2018 elections.
