It appears Hipolito is no longer afraid to speak the truth.He has been pushed to the edge where anger and resolve replaces fear. He is speaking out against Alfredo Castillo and his vendetta and obsession against Dr. Manuel Mireles, a close friend of Hipolito.Mireles remains imprisoned in Hermosillo, Sonora.
Here is some of what Hipolito said since his release of yesterday:
Americano
"On one hand I feel good, and otherwise disappointed to learn that 'El Americano' and his people will also go free, there is ampleevidence that they were the aggressors. But unfortunately they will havefreedom, "he said.
"The release of'Americano' is proof that there is no justice in Mexico, you have to be a delinquent and belong to a cartel to have strength, it is so sad.Their crime is so clear, many witnesses, yet the judge dares to vacate a pack of murderers." (from Aristegui)
The founder of the AUC in Michoacán stated that the judge who ruled that decision has thrown away his career and cannot go out with his head held high.
Hipolito says that after the events of December, there's now a "personal dispute" with"El Americano."
The reality is that Hipolito and Americano shared a personal dispute before December, surrounding issues relating to Americano's mother, and Hipolito's niece (at left) who once lived with Americano. There was a land dispute and a civil case won by Mora. However the murder of Hipolito's son by the Americano group, takes the dispute to a much greater level.

In disagreement and visibly upset, this was the last meeting that Dr Mireles was kept in the loop, from then on he was excluded, and Castillo met in secrecy with hand picked autodefensas, such as El Americano to destroy both the Autodefensa Union and Dr. Mireles
On Mireles and Castillo: commissioner Castillo
Castillo's target's bulls eye was Dr. Mireles. He was not content in destroying the autodefensa movement, he wanted to destroy Dr. Mireles and his reputation. Even as Mireles sat in prison, spending more than half the time in a hospital because he is not receiving his insulin regularly, Castillo made an odd and outrages statement to the press, that Mireles wanted to conquer and control not only Mexico, but all of Latin America.

Hipólito revealed that former Commissioner Alfredo Castillo asked him to "tear apart" Dr. Mireles.
"That man (Commissioner Alfredo Castillo) really annoys me. He wanted to control Michoacán with a big lie, using slander. That man does not deserve to hold any position in the government because he hurts the innocent more than the guilty ... Mireles is imprisoned unjustly because he was arrested for carrying a gun ... Viceroy Castillo asked me to speak ill of Mireles, to really tear him apart in an interview I was about to give. It really pissed me off. I'll never speak ill of Dr. Mireles," he explained.
"Castillo asked me to speak ill of the doctor, to help him screw over Dr. Mireles ... to say the worst things about Mireles to justify detaining him. This is what he said to me: 'help me - tear him up on television,'" he explained.
The twice imprisoned, both times Americano was at the center of the conflict, Hipolito says he is meeting with a political group regarding running for office.
