The promise was to meet with Xóchitl Gálvez, who was a representative for the PAN. Xóchitl Gálvez’s Sister Faces Possible 80-Year Sentence.
The Mexican justice system has requested the maximum sentence, which could exceed 80 years in prison, for Malinali Gálvez Ruiz.
Accused of illegal deprivation of liberty, criminal association and possession of weapons reserved for the exclusive use of the Army, Malinali is the sister of Xóchitl Gálvez, the opposition candidate for the Presidency of the Republic.
The investigation document, which refers to a crime that occurred more than a decade ago, details the kidnapping of Marcela Patricia Flores Domínguez and Rodolfo Morales Hernández.
This file contains the statements of victims and witnesses presented during the trial of Malinali Gálvez, which concluded last February.
Participation in the band Los Tolmex
Malinali Gálvez Ruiz was involved in the kidnapping gang known as Los Tolmex. Her role was to identify and deliver known people to the other members of the gang.
The Tolmex were known for their high degree of danger and brutality. According to the allegations of the Federal Public Ministry, the kidnappers mutilated their victims and sent videos and recordings of their voices to their families to demand million-dollar ransoms.
The kidnapping that took Malinali Gálvez to prison occurred on May 22, 2012. That day, Malinali met with Marcela Patricia Flores at the corner of Prado Norte and Paseo de la Reforma.
Accompanied by her driver, Rodolfo Morales Hernández, Patricia picked up Malinali, who asked them to follow a Mitsubishi truck driven by José Alberto Rivero, known as “El Albert”, Malinali’s romantic partner.

The promise was to meet with Xóchitl Gálvez, who at that time was a deputy for the PAN.
José Alberto Rivero, known as “El Albert”, was a taxi driver who, according to his statements, met again with Malinali and they began a relationship in August 2011.
By January, he sold his taxi and in March he started working at HAITECC (Hightech Services), a company in Xóchitl Gálvez, performing job analysis. “El Albert” lived with Malinali, whom they called “La Malí.”
The horror of kidnapping
The trucks arrived at a house where there was supposedly going to be a meeting, and there, both Patricia and Rodolfo Morales were kidnapped.
Initially, the kidnappers demanded 20 million pesos, but after negotiations, they reduced the demand to 10 million and finally accepted 2,400,000 pesos plus some jewelry.
During the negotiations, Patricia’s daughter, Laura Olmedo Flores, received a text message from Malinali in which she pretended not to know the whereabouts of her mother and expressed interest in having breakfast with Xóchitl Gálvez.
Malinali’s communications were considered suspicious by her family, and on June 22, 2012, the ransom payment was made, allowing the Federal Police to follow Malinali’s movements.
An anonymous tip reported suspicious movements in a house in Toluca, State of Mexico, where the victims were finally rescued.
At the time of her arrest, Malinali Gálvez was found in the living room of the building with a backpack that contained a cell phone, an iPod, nine chips from the Telcel and Movistar companies, 88 useful cartridges of different calibers and keys to various vehicles.
In an adjacent room, Patricia Flores Domínguez and Rodolfo Morales Hernández were captive inside a cage approximately 2 meters long and 1.50 meters wide, covered with blankets.
This discovery underlines the brutality and cruelty of the kidnappers.
Pending sentence and context
The trial against the Los Tolmex gang has concluded, and it is expected that the sentence against Malinali Gálvez Ruiz and the other members of the gang will be issued soon.
Justice has requested the maximum sentence due to the seriousness of the crimes committed and the brutality demonstrated by the gang. The family of the victims and society in general hope that justice is done and that those responsible receive the corresponding punishment.
The case has gained relevance not only because of the seriousness of the crimes, but also because of Malinali’s family relationship with Xóchitl Gálvez, who is a public figure and candidate for the Presidency of the Republic.
This connection has generated diverse reactions in public opinion, putting both Xóchitl Gálvez and his family under scrutiny.
Furthermore, this case has highlighted the importance of the fight against organized crime in Mexico and the need to strengthen the institutions in charge of security and justice.
The brutality of Los Tolmex and their ability to operate for years without being arrested shows flaws in the security system that must be urgently addressed.
The sentence against Malinali Gálvez Ruiz will not only be a step towards justice for the direct victims, but also a clear message that organized crime will not go unpunished.
Mexican society hopes that this case serves as an example of the determination of the judicial system to combat kidnapping and other serious crimes that affect the population.
