MEXICO CITY ? A Mexican official says drug traffickers tried to influence elections in the western state of Michoacan, a charge some of the candidates and party leaders in the race have already made.
Juan Marcos Gutierrez says a drug cartel conducted "boldfaced interference" in last Sunday's state elections. The Knights Templar cartel dominates most of Michoacan.
Gutierrez calls the threats and pressure used by the traffickers "extremely worrisome."
Gutierrez served about a week as interim interior secretary before handing over the post to newly designated secretary Alejandro Poire on Thursday.
The interior department oversees domestic security in Mexico.
