"The Inter American Press Association (IAPA) expresses deep concern over what the Mexican outlet Vanguardia considers judicial retaliation against it, stemming from its critical coverage of former Coahuila governor Humberto Moreira Valdés.
According to reports from the media, Vanguardia has been targeted since 2016 in a systematic campaign of legal harassment and personal persecution, allegedly driven by Moreira.
The offensive allegedly began following a publication about Moreira's arrest in Spain for alleged financial crimes and intensified in recent years through abusive lawsuits, threats, unjustified raids, and pressures on judges and third parties."
