**Mexican authorities have not arrested Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya despite a U.S. Southern District of New York indictment unsealed in late April 2026 charging him with narcotics conspiracy and weapons offenses tied to alleged protection of the Sinaloa Cartel’s Los Chapitos faction in exchange for bribes and electoral support.** Mexico’s Foreign Ministry and FGR rejected the accompanying extradition request for insufficient evidence, while Rocha denied the claims and took a temporary leave in early May before briefly resuming duties on August 21. Widespread criticism from President Claudia Sheinbaum and Morena leaders prompted him to request an indefinite leave the next day, which the state congress approved. Federal investigations remain open with no domestic arrest warrant issued, though recent operations near his Culiacán residence seized weapons and vehicles. Ongoing U.S. pressure, FGR proceedings, and Sinaloa’s political timeline through the October 2027 term end continue to shape trader assessments of arrest or extradition timing.
