Consulate will help Mexican in prison in Spain

Gonzalo Contreras Rincón, Mexican accused of drug trafficking in Spain, met with staff from the Mexican consulate in Madrid who pledged to review his case and apply for expulsion if he decides to do so.

"I felt very good after talking with them, I felt more accompanied, listened to and supported than in the past," said Contreras, imprisoned in Spain for three years.

In a telephone interview with Ciro Gómez Leyva, Contreras explained that the expulsion, "is a legal resource for foreigners in which the remainder of the sentence is replaced with expulsion from the national territory".

About the drug trafficking charges against him, Contreras rejected them: "I am innocent, I did not commit any offense, neither intentionally, nor by omission," although he acknowledged that he may have made a trust mistake.
