I remind you that it's an autonomous institution, here is no specific order, if we talk about an order then what we want is to uproot corruption in Mexico, and this is being done within a legal framework, it is an accusation made with evidence, that is why this detention in Spain took place, and the details are already known, the crimes for which he is accused, which has to do with the case of Odebretch and also with the purchase of fertilizer plants. That is what is being investigated and what led to his apprehension. There is a real state of law, it is no longer as it was before when we suffered from an unlawful state, now we can talk about a state of law, there is no protection for anyone, anyone who commits a crime is punished"
