Gerardo Mérida Sánchez, exsecretario de Seguridad Pública de Sinaloa, se entregó a autoridades estadounidenses en Arizona el 11 de mayo. Enfrenta cargos por conspiración para importar narcóticos y posesión de armamento.

Las autoridades de Estados Unidos trasladaron a Mérida a Nueva York, donde la fiscalía del Distrito Sur lo acusa de conspiración para importar narcóticos, posesión de armamento y conspiración para poseer armamento. Los cargos podrían llevar a una pena de cadena perpetua.

Según el expediente penal hecho público el viernes, Mérida aceptó más de 100 mil dólares mensuales en sobornos de Los Chapitos a cambio de alertar sobre operativos contra laboratorios de drogas y permitir la operación libre del cártel.

El senador Gerardo Fernández Noroña cuestionó la entrega y afirmó que las personas señaladas debieron permanecer bajo vigilancia. “Debería tener bajo resguardo, bajo vigilancia, bajo ciertas limitaciones de movilidad a estas personas”, declaró durante una transmisión en vivo.
