Valencia said that Dr. Mireles will immediately board a plane that will move him to Guadalajara, Jalisco, and later to Michoacán, specifically to Tepalcatepec.
It should be noted that in recent days, the First Unitary Court granted an amparo to the former leader of the Michoacán autodefensas, José Manuel Mireles Valverde, and to three of his bodyguards accused of violating the Federal Law on Firearms and Explosives.
