Francisco Javier García Cabeza de Vaca is a mexican governor of the Tamaulipas state, he is better known as Cabeza de Vaca; his last surname. He faces a judicial process, because the Fiscalía General de la República (FGR), which is the major attorney organism in Mexico, denounced him for money laundering, operations with resources of illicit origin and organized crime. But, the trial has been like a wheel of fortune; it means, while the FGR is looking for the outrage of his charge as Tamaulipas’s governor; Cabeza de Vaca has played his game . In the first movement, the FGR wants the outrage, because if it doesn’t happen, the trial is going to end in the Tamaulipas’s court; and it means the dead of the trial and a triumph for Cabeza de Vaca. So, that’s the reason why the FGR is looking for to bring the case to the federal courts, where have a wide room for maneuver.
