The do-nothing prosecutor of Veracruz, Reynaldo Escobar Pérez, has resigned

A few days ago I reported on the do-nothing prosecutor of Veracruz, Reynaldo Escobar Pérez. He has just resigned. Apparently, all of the body dumpings in town were too much even for him. Well done, bien hecho, Reynaldo. Now, if Veracruz governor Javier Duarte would just follow suit.

More than 70 human cadavers have appeared on Veracruz streets or have been found in local residences since September 21. All had been executed, presumably by one or more warring drug cartels in the region. Earlier this week governor Duarte said that security in Veracruz was fine, and that no there was no problem with corruption in local police and militia forces. Pérez' said today he was resigning for "personal reasons." An interim deputy prosecutor will replace him.

P.S. I'm taking partial credit for Pérez' resignation. I think he reads my Blog.
