<p>The date of the audio in unknown but the recording could have come after a judge issued a warrant on November 5 for the arrest of the mayor&#8217;s husband Fernando Hernández, on corruption charges. <br>Veracruz Governor Cuitláhuac García said that a preliminary investigation found that Ríos most likely knew her captors who forced her to follow them before they executed her.<br>&#8216;It has to do with the circle close to the mayor, derived from criminal proceedings that have been followed against (current) and former municipal public servants,&#8217; García said.<br> &#8216;The evidence that we have already strengthens a line of investigation, and it has to do, unfortunately, with the mayor&#8217;s inner circle.&#8217; <br>Former treasurer María Pérez and former director of public works Carlos Pérez were arrested November 4 on corruption charges, but they were released from custody while the state prosecutor&#8217;s office conducts the investigation. </p>

And everything is blamed on organized crime,&#8217; he wrote. <br>&#8216;I love you Florisel and I swear I would have died with you. We would have not gone out alone.&#8217;<br>&#8216;Now if all those people who found us are happy, God bless all of them who did this to you,&#8217; ; Hernández added. <br>&#8216;We are innocent and I scream to the four winds that we have worked and we knew to save for the old age we always dreamed of.
