More on Godoy

The governor of Michoacán says that he wont resign despite the warrant out for his half-brother's arrest, he won't resign. Leonel Godoy did ask for his brother to turn himself in, and the PRD has said that it will not defend him.

I can only speculate about the timing, but it's weird that just days after the election such an explosive accusation was made public, given everything that happened in Michoacán during the campaign. Kate D Artigues reports today that the brother was arrested with all the rest of the Michoacán officials in May, which makes you wonder if his apprehension was delayed precisely because of the elections. But in such a scenario, Governor Godoy's indignation after the May arrests would seem out of place.
