During a hearing before the State Congress of Veracruz, Acting Attorney General Veronica Hernandez Giadans said she was related by blood to Guadalupe Hernandez "La Jefa" Hervis, a woman wanted by federal authorities on multiple organized crime charges. La Jefa is also described as a close ally of Hernan "Comandante H" Martinez Zavaleta.
The questions about Hernandez's family history came during a heated exchange with Congressman Jose Manuel Posos Castro, who hails from Mexico's Morena Party, Radio Formula reported.
Hernandez recently took the position as acting attorney general after the former AG became a fugitive. He was outed for allegedly protecting members of Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion, Proceso reported.
A video shared on social media by another reporter from Veracruz captured the moment when Hernandez said that she could not answer for her family's actions and criminal activities, but she would respond to her own actions.
