Obrador: Israel shouldn’t ‘protect’ former Mexican official

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Monday that Israel should not protect a former Mexican official believed to be residing there.

He added that Israel had been informed of an arrest warrant against the individual.

Lopez Obrador said Tomas Zeron, an official in the previous administration who is wanted for tampering with evidence and torture in the case of 43 missing students, among other crimes, was not “politically persecuted.”
