Héctor Francisco Morán González, the former commander of the 30th Military Zone in Tabasco, has been reassigned amid allegations of receiving million-dollar bribes from the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel (CJNG).
On January 31, Morán González was transferred to another key state for Mexican drug trafficking. José Ramiro López Obrador, the Secretary of Government, stated that this move was part of the “Army strategy.” However, it comes amidst serious accusations of Morán’s alleged links to the CJNG.
During Morán’s tenure, several narco-messages appeared in Villahermosa and Comalcalco, accusing him of facilitating bribes to the Secretary of Government. These messages coincided with increasing violence in Tabasco due to conflicts between La Barredora and the CJNG, despite official denials of cartel presence.
Morán González vehemently denied the accusations, criticizing those who questioned his integrity. He emphasized his dedication to public service and rejected the legitimacy of the accusations made by criminals.
Governor Javier May supported Morán González, and the state government claimed no influence over his reassignment. According to federal sources, Morán González has now taken command of the 21st Military Zone in Michoacán, another state with significant CJNG activity.
The reassignment of Morán González raises questions about the influence of drug cartels and the effectiveness of military leadership in combating organized crime in Mexico.
