...final charge. The former President's brother Raul, he said, had ``co-authored'' the crime with another politician, who had previously been identified as the sole mastermind of the killing. The charges were doubly shocking given the personal links between the two: Raul's sister was once married to Ruiz Massieu and Raul is godfather to the couple's daughter...
...since he was charged last fall with organizing the murder, Munoz Rocha has eluded an international manhunt, and some investigators believe he may be dead. His motive was thought to be political: the legislator allegedly told associates that his ambitions to become a state governor had been thwarted by Ruiz Massieu.

While Zedillo's own distance from the political Old Guard makes it easier for him to reform the system, many Mexicans wonder if he is too naive to understand the risks involved in taking on the men in the shadows. Colosio and Ruiz Massieu may have been killed, after all, simply for threatening to reduce the power of the mighty. Zedillo has already gone beyond that by threatening to punish the mighty...
