Extortions such as “right of floor” will already be a serious crime in Edomex


September 12th, 2019

The parliamentary fraction of Morena before the 60 Local Legislature, proposed a reform of the Criminal Code of the State of Mexico. So that all the variables of the crime of extortion, fall into the catalog of “serious crimes” and can be sanctioned, as already indicated by the law, with up to 12 or 15 years in prison - at maximum penalty - which would apply to the so-called “floor charge”, so widespread in Edomex by criminal gangs.

The initiative was presented by the legislator Violeta Nava Gómez, who, citing figures from the National Citizen Observatory, said that the State of Mexico occupies the record in this crime at the national level, concentrating 23.1% of all complaints at the national level. It is followed by Jalisco and Mexico City.

He stressed that in the first five months of the year, at least 791 cases have already been registered in the entity, occupying the first place at the national level.
