Fox accuses Sheinbaum of using Ruffo case to shield Baja California governor

Vicente Fox says President Claudia Sheinbaum is using the case against former Baja California governor Ernesto Ruffo to protect current governor Marina del Pilar.

Fox has not provided evidence for that claim, and Sheinbaum says the investigation concerns alleged tax offenses and illegal fuel imports.

Ruffo is accused of involvement in fuel smuggling and organized crime, but the claims have not been established in court.

The case matters because it has become part of a wider political dispute in Mexico.
