Governor of Mexico's Sinaloa state steps down after US drug trafficking indictment
Ruben Rocha Moya, governor of Sinaloa state since 2021, announced he would temporarily resign days after being indicted by US prosecutors on drug trafficking charges for allegedly aiding the Sinaloa cartel's Chapitos faction. The indictment claims Rocha Moya and nine other Mexican officials accepted bribes and political support from the cartel, which stole ballots and intimidated opponents during his 2021 election campaign. Rocha denies the allegations and said his temporary leave aims to defend himself and facilitate Mexican authorities' investigation.
