“No cambiaré ninguna letra” dijo en exclusiva para Carmen Aristegui el periodista Steve Fisher, quien reveló que Estados Unidos ha iniciado investigaciones contra el gobernador de Sonora, Alfonso Durazo; y el gobernador de Tamaulipas, Américo Villarreal, por presuntos vínculos con el crimen organizado.
