MEXICO - Resignation of Minister of Justice

Arturo Chavez resigned March 31 to President Felipe Calderón, who announced he would propose the chief anti-drug prosecutor, Marisela Morales, to replace him. Chavez's departure comes three weeks after the publication of a U.S. diplomatic cable leaked by Wikileaks, where his appointment is considered "inexplicable." He is accused his inaction between 1996 and 1998, when he was charged, as counsel for the State of Chihuahua, the investigation into the murders of dozens of women in Ciudad Juárez.
