The criminal complaint was filed with the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) and was ratified by said institution on February 1, he explained.

Hernández clarified that the FGR should also investigate the actor’s alleged links with criminal organizations, since García himself acknowledged in the video and on many other occasions that he met drug lords.

In her book, the Mexican, who currently resides outside of Mexico due to threats, assures that García was related to different drug traffickers, mainly with Arturo Beltrán Leyva, leader of the extinct Beltrán Leyva organization and killed in a confrontation with marines in 2009.

“I requested that in addition to the threats, gender-based violence be taken into account. Andrés García has confessed to being a friend of drug traffickers and having received them at his house. He also confessed to having weapons, including machine guns, ”added the journalist.

In his YouTube video published three weeks ago, the 80-year-old actor, originally from Santo Domingo but living in Mexico, insulted and directly threatened Hernández, whom he described as a “supposedly (supposedly) journalist.”

“I know almost all of them, and some are much more decent and much kinder than her, but since I have earned money with them, check it, you will have to check it before a judge,” criticized the actor. on his YouTube channel.

In the video the actor had assured that he would sue the journalist, but she said this Thursday that so far no lawsuit has been received, neither from him nor from other celebrities such as the actresses Ninel Conde or Galilea Montijo, who also they appear in the book, both romantically related to Arturo Beltrán Leyva.

VIOLENCE AGAINST THE PRESS

During the press conference, Hernández insisted on the worrying nature of the daily threats against journalists for “narration of the actions of others” in a country where, so far this year, four journalists have already been murdered.

“I believe in a journalism that calls for surrender to those in power, I believe in a journalism that is not for sale, that resists. We are the historians of the present and if we don’t do it, no one else will,” the journalist stated.

According to the organization Article 19, Mexico adds 149 journalists killed for their work from 2000 to date, 29 of them during the current term of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, which began in December 2018.
