Mexico City. The Attorney General's Office (FGR) summoned 14 former officials from the Autonomous University of Querétaro (UAQ) for alleged acts of corruption. The events took place during Gilberto Herrera Ruiz's administration, who currently holds a seat in the Chamber of Deputies for the Morena party.
The investigation, registered under file FED/FECC/FECCQRO/0000765/2020, is in the hands of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office. Crimes contemplated in the Federal Penal Code will be charged.
A network of officials under scrutiny
The individuals involved include: Alonso Cárdenas Alarcón, Oscar Guerra Becerra, Rosalba Rodríguez Durán, Eusebio Ventura Ramos, Edgar Arturo Quevedo Martínez, and Víctor Rodríguez Curioca Ramírez. Leticia del Carmen Pavón, Ana Gabriela Gasca González, Edgar Gabriel Masse, Sergio Manuel Hernández, Francisco Javier Villafuerte, Roberto Lara Amaya, Rigoberto Contreras Cortés, and Silvia Méndez Martha were also summoned.
Federal authorities have scheduled initial hearings before the District Judge Specialized in the Accusatory Criminal System, based in Mexico City.
A pattern reminiscent of the "Estafa Maestra"
The original complaint was filed by José Alejandro Ramírez Reséndiz, then UAQ comptroller. He detected a network of public funds triangulation, especially from Conacyt, during Herrera Ruiz's administration.
"Evidently, it's a kind, as it was known at the time, of triangulation, of the 'Estafa Maestra'," stated Ramírez Reséndiz.
