Rocha Moya Resumes Duties as Sinaloa Governor After 112 Days on Leave

Rubén Rocha Moya announced on social media that he was resuming his duties as constitutional governor of Sinaloa after 112 days on leave, claiming the FGR had found 'not a shred of evidence' to support the U.S. cartel-protection allegations against him and that he was returning 'with a clear conscience and my head held high.' Mexico's Secretariat of the Interior contradicted his framing, clarifying that investigations into him 'remain open.' The move blindsided President Sheinbaum's government and Morena leadership, who had not been notified in advance and learned of the return through social media.
