Lawyer Sylvia Delgada who defended drugs elected by the judge

Former lawyer for defense in Lord Hooakin’s prison “El Chap” Guzman was elected by a judge in the first in the history of the Mexico court.

The talis, published on Tuesday, showed that Sylvia Delgada won enough votes to provide the position of a local criminal judge in the city of Sudad Juarez, on the US-Mexico border.

Her candidacy was one of the most controversial elections that took place on June 1.

The lead organization of transparency accused Delgada of being one of several candidates for allegedly organized crime on the newsletter, accusing that she severely rejected, claiming that she simply did her work, defending El -Chap.

The 51-year-old lawyer was part of the El Chap defense team before the notorious Lord drug was extradited from Mexico in the United States in 2017.

Cartel leader Sinaloa was found guilty of drug trafficking in 2019 and is serving a lifetime imprisonment in Supermax in Colorado.

In an interview with the BBC ahead of the election, Delgado claimed that El -Chap has the right to a legal lawyer and rejected the proposals for conflict of interest if it was elected by the judge.

Following the publication of the vote on Tuesday, Delgada said she would refrain from commenting until her victory was officially confirmed.

The court elections were the first of its kind, which took place in Mexico after the radical reform given by the Marena ruling party.

His supporters said that choosing judges – including the judges of the Supreme Court – would make the judicial system more democratic and the cause of voters during the direct vote.

But his critics claimed that it undermined the independence of the judicial system.

The turnout was low by 13% – the lowest in any federal vote, which took place in Mexico – which many observers stated that there was little enthusiasm among the Mexicans to choose judges.

However, President Claudia Sheinbaum said the election has achieved extraordinary success.
