The tape recording allegedly of PRD Federal Deputy Julio César Godoy Toscano and Servando Gómez "La Tuta" of the criminal drug gang La Familia Michoacana is very well worth listening to, which can be done here. If it is accurate, it is certainly damning, as it portrays a very cozy relationship between the Michoacano and the criminal capo. Is it real?
Godoy responded in a press communique, which include the following statements:
(it can be found in PRD's homepage)
- The recording was leaked by the PGR (attorney general's office) to the press, an illegal act.
- The recording was rejected as evidence by Michoacán and Tamaulipas and by Zacatecas magistrates
- PGR wants to win in public opinion what it has not been able to win in tribunal.
-The Federal government is trying to achieve a lynching of Godoy in public opinion.
All of the above seems true to me: It is a media lynching, as PGR has not achieved arresting Godoy yet by legal means, and the federal government is certainly trying to have public opinion judge him, likely in part also as a revenge or expression of frustration as their incompetent investigation has so far rendered little fruit.
Yet at the same time: Why didn't Godoy simply write, "the person in the recording is not me"?
Is it because it is really him?
