MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Mexican Attorney General Alejandro Gertz has submitted his resignation, two government sources told Reuters on Thursday.
The resignation of the 86-year-old lawyer must be approved by the Mexican Senate.
Gertz, who has served as attorney general since 2019, was originally appointed for a nine-year term set to run until 2028.
President Claudia Sheinbaum said at her daily news conference on Thursday that she had received a letter from the Senate regarding Gertz's possible resignation, was reviewing it, and would provide an update on Friday.
