The conclave of the Countess

On August 24, a private meeting took place at the Magazzino restaurant in the Condesa neighborhood of Mexico City. Attendees included Andy López Beltrán, son of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, his brother Gonzalo, and Daniel Asaf, a former presidential aide linked to high-profile scandals involving contracts during AMLO's administration. Other attendees were prominent figures such as José Cuervo's leader, Juan Domingo Beckmann, a member of Claudia Sheinbaum's economic advisory council, and technology executive Mauricio Garduño. The event was marked by luxury, including a rare bottle of Sassicaia wine valued between 16,000 and 24,000 pesos. The meeting occurred amid significant political turmoil, following the arrest of Fausto Corrales Rodríguez, a key witness in the murder case of Héctor Melesio Cuén, a university rector. Corrales had been involved in a meeting where Cuén was killed, and the incident was tied to the Sinaloa Cartel. This led to the sudden return of Rubén Rocha Moya, the former governor of Sinaloa, who had been absent due to allegations linking him to drug trafficking.
