Enrique Inzunza Cázarez is a Mexican politician and current Senator for the state of Sinaloa, representing the Morena party. His documented controversies and legal challenges include: Sexual Harassment: In April 2018, while serving in the Sinaloa Judiciary, he was accused of sexual harassment by a Mazatlán judge. Inzunza denied the allegations and offered to waive his immunity for investigation; the case was closed in July 2018 after the accuser withdrew the complaint. Murder Allegation: In August 2024, a witness alleged he was present during the assassination of Melesio Cuén Ojeda, linking him to a meeting with cartel leader Ismael Zambada. Drug Trafficking and Weapons Charges: On April 29, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice indicted Inzunza for conspiracy to import narcotics, possession of machine guns and destructive devices, and corruption. U.S. prosecutors allege he served as a liaison between the Sinaloa Cartel faction "Los Chapitos" and Governor Rubén Rocha Moya, facilitating protection for cartel operations in exchange for political support and bribes. He faces a minimum of 40 years to life in prison if convicted. Reports indicate he was arrested in San Diego in May 2026 and his legal counsel has initiated discussions regarding his potential status as a cooperating witness. Inzunza has publicly rejected these accusations as false, politically motivated, and an attack on national sovereignty.
