Cancún Protest Exposes Corruption and Abuse Scandal

Members of the advocacy group "Mothers Searchers" staged a protest in Cancún, blocking a major access route to the city's tourist area for 18 hours. Their demands included the arrest of a man accused of sexually abusing his daughter and the dismissal of a local prosecutor.

The group alleges that Nathaly Robertos, head of the Specialized Prosecutor's Office for Sexual Crimes in Quintana Roo, has been colluding with criminals and fraudulent activists to negotiate deals for financial gain.

The protest began on behalf of Melissa, a Colombian citizen and mother of the child victim. The accused is the child's father, an Italian named Maurizzio N. With the support of the Mothers Searchers and local feminists, the group obstructed access to the tourist area, causing significant disruption to local traffic and affecting over 160 public transport vehicles and 30,000 people.

Following negotiations with the city council of Benito Juárez, it was agreed that Melissa's daughter would be returned to her. However, Melissa fears for their safety as long as the accused remains free. The group insists that an arrest warrant be issued for Maurizzio and will continue their blockade until he is apprehended.

Two additional cases related to the same prosecutor, Nathaly Robertos, were brought to light during the protest. One involves another child victim of sexual abuse, allegedly at the hands of her father, Rolando S. Despite facing charges of family and psychological violence, Rolando was granted custody of the child in February.

The child's mother, Argentinian Alejandra G, reported that the prosecutor had initially issued a protection order for her and her daughter after confirming the abuse. However, in a shocking turn of events, the child was later left in the custody of her identified abuser.
