Will Gertz Manero investigate espionage allegations?

After the PAN announced it will hire experts to investigate the alleged espionage at their offices, many felt it was strange. Morena members consider that the PAN’s actions affect the credibility of Attorney General Alejandro Gertz Manero , who leads the institution in charge of the investigation. They also think it’s strange that the espionage accusations came up during a time when senators are discussing outsourcing and cannabis . Nevertheless, the investigation carried out by the FGR would be the only one that would be valid in a tribunal.
