Former treasurer of Michoacán indicted on embezzlement charges
A district court judge in Morelia, Michoacán has indicted a former treasurer of that state, Humberto Suárez López, on charges of embezzlement and abuse of authority after finding sufficient evidence against him. The judge ruled that Suárez may remain free during his judicial process, pending the payment of just under $49.9 million pesos (around $3.8 million USD). He is reportedly suffering from a number of health ailments, including hypertension; he has also battled lung cancer in the past, and had to be hospitalized the night of his arrest, according to Proceso.
