Sheinbaum Pledges Review After San Luis Potosí Journalist Reports Armed Threats Over Espionage Stories

The commitment follows Anahí Torres’s on-camera plea at the mañanera after she linked the threats to reporting on a presumed espionage network.

Overview

  • Torres said four men with long guns intercepted her outside her workplace on October 2 in San Luis Potosí.
  • She reported the men threatened her and fellow journalists Omar Niño and Carlos Domínguez.
  • Torres linked the intimidation to articles alleging a presumed espionage network that she says angered Governor Ricardo Gallardo and Secretary of Government Guadalupe Torres Sánchez.
  • During the briefing she accused Gallardo of being behind the attack, a claim not corroborated by authorities.
  • Sheinbaum said the federal government will review the complaint and, according to El Heraldo, instructed Arturo Medina to follow up, with no arrests or formal investigation announced.
