The Morena senator from Sinaloa rejected any ties to foreign authorities and stated he will prove the accusations against him are false.
Enrique Inzunza, a Morena lawmaker, stated through social media that any contact with United States authorities is false. He said he will not hire lawyers because he represents himself and that his honesty will be proven.
The senator noted he is in Sinaloa and will attend any summons from Mexican authorities under the Constitution. He rejected accusations of links to organized crime as unfounded.
His statements come after Gerardo Mérida surrendered in the United States. Mérida was detained on May 11 and faces charges in New York for conspiracy to import narcotics. License governor Rubén Rocha Moya remains in Sinaloa under federal watch.
