Sandra Cuevas, former mayor of Cuauht\u00e9moc, broke her silence this weekend following the viral arrest of Eduardo P\u00e9rez Tueme, identified as her alleged fianc\u00e9. The arrest took place on the street Canarias in the Portales neighborhood of Mexico City, carried out by the city\u2019s Police of Investigation (PDI) under the Fiscal\u00eda General de Justicia de la CDMX. P\u00e9rez Tueme was handed over to authorities in Coahuila after medical certification, facing accusations of a multimillion-dollar fraud. <\/p>\n
In a direct statement posted on her official X account on Monday, June 29, 2026, Cuevas said, \u201cI have nothing to hide,\u201d addressing the media storm and the circulation of arrest images. She criticized the editing of the arrest photo by users and police reporters, sharing additional, more personal photos of P\u00e9rez Tueme on her social media, affectionately calling him \u201ccara de perro.\u201d Cuevas also announced she would provide a more detailed formal statement the following day due to her busy work schedule. <\/p>\n
This incident has reignited public attention on Cuevas\u2019s personal circle, as several of her former partners and close collaborators have faced legal troubles in recent months: <\/p>\n
– Alejandro Mendoza (\u201cEl Choko\u201d), detained in September 2025 for alleged ties to the criminal group \u201cLa Chokiza.\u201d Cuevas acknowledged their relationship after his arrest, claiming ignorance of his activities.
\n– \u00d3scar Giovanni Mata (\u201cEl Topo\u201d), arrested in September 2025 as a suspected extortionist linked to \u201cLa Uni\u00f3n Tepito,\u201d who worked within Cuauht\u00e9moc\u2019s operational structure.
\n– Benoni Fern\u00e1ndez Rosas and Sergio Ulises (\u201cEl Cari-Guante\u201d), close to Cuevas\u2019s administration, were detained in early 2026. <\/p>\n
Despite the renewed scrutiny on her personal connections, authorities emphasize that investigations focus on individual responsibility, and there are no legal accusations or direct implications against Sandra Cuevas herself. <\/p>\n
For a public figure navigating the complex intersections of politics and personal life, this episode highlights the challenges of transparency and accountability in Mexico\u2019s political landscape. Meanwhile, the conversation continues online, reflecting broader questions about trust, governance, and the role of public officials in upholding ethical standards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
