TECATE BC (MEXICANO, Armando ACOSTA ROJAS, 5/10/11) - Municipal agents arrested Sergio Silva Rodríguez, 38, for possession of drugs.

TIJUANA BC (ZETA, Luis Alonso Pérez, 5/9/11) – The trials of 21 of the 58 individuals arrested in June 2008 during the "narcobautizo" of the Tijuana Herrera colony, laid out what the defendants identified as abuses and inefficiencies of the police and judicial authorities. They cause innocent people to go to jail and criminals go free. This week it re-emerged in the public light, with the case of Martín Torres Garibay, who was mistakenly accused almost three years ago by the authorities as drug dealer Filiberto Parra Ramos, alias "The dog". This story was given at the presentation of the detainees, not handled in the official gazettes of the Attorney-General when it announced the formal arrests locally. Since its ruling, the Torres lawyer filed an appeal to rule out the testimony of the protected witness and to substantiate his identity. Yet, he was issued a detention order and sent to the maximum-security Puente Grande prison. It is illogical he was acquitted of charges against him. The indictments refer to him as commander of a criminal cell consisting of the 21 men arrested, and all of them remain imprisoned. "They are taking all the evidence to verify that they are innocent, but until this moment there are no answers and it is still a long process. They should already have gone free," claimed Lady Claudia Ibarra, wife of Miguel Calderón Magañaa, one of those who remain imprisoned. Now free, Torres, host of the party, ensures the innocence of the 21 guests, musicians and the ballroom workers, who remain incarcerated in the maximum-security prison defending him on legal charges of organized crime. "All I demand is justice for me and for all those people who are unjustly imprisoned. In August, I was there three years, with my brother. “The Crutches”” noted Torres Garibay, “Raydel Lopez Uriarte, was arrested in February last year.”
