The investigation into the kidnapping of Veracruz journalist Roxana Guzmán has been transferred to federal authorities, ten days after her abduction. This decision was confirmed by the Veracruz State Attorney General. Guzmán, a local reporter, was taken against her will earlier this month, prompting concern from press freedom organizations. The move to federal control suggests the case is considered a priority and may involve federal crimes. Details surrounding the kidnapping remain scarce, but authorities have pledged to investigate thoroughly. The transfer aims to consolidate resources and expertise in the search for Guzmán and the apprehension of those responsible. This escalation indicates a serious approach to addressing violence against journalists in the region.
