The investigations are reportedly related to alleged organized crime activities, including extortion and crimes against the security of the state, which are tied to the \"Los Cromos\" crime gang. Rodríguez also announced that an arrest warrant has been issued for Mariano Rosado, Sánchez's second in command and former secretary of the Juchitán City Council. The six municipal presidents under investigation are from \"different political affiliations,\" with Rodríguez emphasizing that the office does not consider partisan distinctions in its investigations.",
