In an information card, the FGR indicated that the request for transparency to make that video public was not requested from that agency, but from the National Institute of Migration (INM).
The request, for transparency, about the video of the fire at the National Institute of Migration station, in Ciudad Juárez, was addressed to the INM itself,” he said.
Besides, He pointed out that in the investigation folder “no specific request for transparency regarding said video has been received.”
And he added that the investigation, in general terms, “must be kept secret by ministry of law, except that, in this case, said video has been widely disseminated by the media and social networks,” which is why “there is no problem in make it known, due to the legal requirements, before any request that is made in this regard”.
After the tragedy, a dozen people have been arrested, while the director of the INM, Francisco Garduño, was linked to the process because the Attorney General of the Republic (FGR) accuses him of omission of duties for his role in the events, but remains free and without resigning his position.
Meanwhile, President López Obrador has justified on several occasions that Garduño remains as head of Migration, although he has promised that no one will be protected, in addition to the fact that there will be justice.
