Chihuahua Governor María Eugenia Campos Galván confirmed she will appear before the Attorney General's Office (FGR) on May 27, 2026 [1].
The appearance signals a high-profile escalation in federal investigations into foreign intelligence activities within Mexico. Because the governor is appearing in the nation's capital to address allegations involving the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, the proceedings could impact diplomatic relations and state-level security protocols.
Campos Galván received the official notification at the Government Palace in Chihuahua [2]. She is scheduled to travel to Mexico City to provide testimony as a witness rather than a defendant [3].
President Claudia Sheinbaum addressed the legal status of the governor regarding the summons. "No está imputada," Sheinbaum said [4].
The investigation focuses on the activities of alleged CIA agents and other related cases [3]. The FGR has summoned nine other individuals in connection with the same case [5].
While the governor's office has confirmed her attendance, the case has drawn sharp criticism from other political figures. Former President Felipe Calderón described those involved in the surrounding political climate as "cobardes, hipócritas," he said [6].
Campos Galván has also used the opportunity to question the legal treatment of other figures in the investigation, specifically mentioning Rocha Moya [7].
“"No está imputada"”
This summons places a sitting governor at the center of a federal probe into foreign espionage. While the government emphasizes that Campos Galván is a witness, the inclusion of nine other suspects suggests a broad investigation into how foreign intelligence assets may have operated within Chihuahua, potentially exposing vulnerabilities in state-level governance or security.
