Luis Donaldo Colosio Murrieta received a second shot aboard the van which was taken to hospital after being shot in the head in Lomas Bullfighting, Tijuana. This will set a videotape provided by the University of Guadalajara.

The recording is indisputable proof that Luis D. Colosio was the victim of a plot which involved members of the Presidential who were in charge of security Colosio, led by Brigadier General Roberto Garcia Reyes Domiro. The recording was disclosed by the news Spheres, broadcast in the city of Guadalajara, capital of Jalisco, which just took place the Third Summit of the European Union and Latin America.

The videotape was released to the public upon completion of 10 years of the crime of then candidate for President of the Republic, and in it, in slow motion, we see the chaos that was to transport the victim from the place where it was given the First shot in the head, until the truck he used in his tour, and the intrusion into the scene of several strangers.

In the videotape obtained by The Crisis in Jaliciense news website, shows that Colosio, already wounded, is uploaded to the truck by the rear right door, and that’s when the news wire said: “Look at the individual who is back of the truck, a short stature type of glasses, bald, then he is seen by the left rear door and then hear the crystal clear sound of the blast and flash flash it produces. ” Then the reporter, who asks happens in slow motion video recording, narrates the facts point by point and circling the light produced by the flash of the second weapon used against Sonora.

And to leave no doubt, the narrator states: “so if the bullet did not get it at the site of the first attack, as he was falling to the ground, shot him inside dela truck, and this strengthens conspiracy theories against the PRI candidate for the presidency of the Republic. “

This agrees with the first position that was deducted from the forensic report by Dr. Patricia Obanel, specialized cardiologist, who the day of the events involved in the autopsy performed on murdered and that, leaving the regional hospital in Tijuana, disturbed, stated that there was only a wound, but had more and hinted that the attacker was not one but several. In this regard, the federal prosecutor said at the time was researched version of the doctor, but it withdrew its statement saying that was a product of confusion.

According to the investigation by the U.S. Attorney Diego Valadez at the request of Senator Luis Colosio, father of the murdered, reopen the case, saying for the first time that his son had been the victim of a climate of profound deterioration of its relations with (Carlos) Salinas, President of the Republic in the period 1988-1994, the hypothesis was not shown in the plot, at last, was demonstrated without question.

The hypothesis of the plot was answered the eve of the tenth anniversary of the assassination of Sonora by former President Salinas de Gortari, who said he maintained a very cordial relationship with Colosio, noting that in any case would have to ask who is to Ernesto Zedillo, who replaced the assassinated on the nomination of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and reached the presidency, and that was the main beneficiary of the death of Colosio.

Reopen the Colosio case

Meanwhile, in the press conference he gave on 16 February, the general coordinator of federal prosecutors Research (PGR), Maricela Morales, said the PGR analyzes the 178 volumes of the Colosio case file to determine whether the Ministry Public called to testify or not former presidents and added that the case “can not be reopened on a whim.” Thus, the official of the prosecution is aligned with authoritarianism inaugurated by Vicente Fox, who is said by the end of the file.

The official position states that there was only one murderer, Mario Aburto, who is serving a sentence of 45 years in prison. So Luis Colosio has asked prosecutors to interrogate Salinas and Zedillo. Also requested that this confrontation involving the former mayor of Mexico City and current PRD deputy, Manuel Camacho, who participated in a decisive way in the effort to hinder Colosio’s campaign. In this regard, Camacho Solis accepted the confrontation and asked to reopen the case, for that Please clarify obscure points.

This position was supported by the Head of Government of Mexico City, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, in statements made on 16 February. He said it was necessary to dwell on all the investigations to know who is who conspired to commit the crime. Camacho is the protector of the police chief of Mexico City, Marcelo Ebrard, whom the journalist Hector Gonzalez accused of protecting drug 70 000 outlets in Mexico City.

Neither Aburto or Othon Cortes

The recovery of freedom of Othon Cortes Vazquez, arrested and charged Antonio Lozano, when he was a federal prosecutor, as the second shooter in the murder of Bullfighting Hills, which would strengthen the conspiracy thesis, which in turn drove the Attorney Pablo Chapa Bezanilla, that would be the strut to reach the Presidential General Staff (EMP), it left open the possibility that another individual has made the second shot.

Experts Alejandro Garcia Lopez and Isaac Manuel Urrutia Hernandez issued a conclusion after analyzing the autopsy certificate, endless opinions and forensic ballistics, various testimonials, audiovisual and judgments of colleagues: “One: It is virtually impossible Mario Aburto Martinez could move to the left and behind Luis Donaldo Colosio moments occurred after the first shot, by the speed with which they were raised facts, and many people clustered around the now compacted deceased and immediate action that was the subject submission Mario Aburto Martinez. “

But would a conflict of constitutionality. Mario Aburto Martinez and lonely murderer was found and convicted as such. Therefore, for the prosecution can not be a second participant.

 

 

 

This thesis solitary murderer, that was the most favorable for the Mexican political class got impunity blocking the way to a deeper investigation of the murder, is cast down by the videotape presented in Guadalajara, which has tried to dismiss.
