Mexican authorities have arrested a former intelligence agent suspected of involvement in the 1994 assassination of presidential favorite Luis Donaldo Colosio — a case that stunned the nation and remains unresolved.
Judicial sources told newmen that Jorge Antonio Sanchez Ortega was detained on Saturday in Tijuana, Baja California, and brought before a judge.
Colosio, the Institutional Revolutionary Party candidate, was shot during a campaign rally in Tijuana.
His murder on March 23, 1994 is seen as a pivotal moment in Mexican political history.
