Roberto Javier Mora García (c. 1962 – 16 March 2004) was a Mexican journalist and editorial director of ''El Mañana'', a newspaper based in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico. He worked for a number of media outlets in Mexico, including the ''El Norte'' and ''El Diario de Monterrey'', prior to his assassination. While on his way home from work, Mora García was stabbed to death 26 times. Two men were eventually arrested and charged with the killing, but a number of independent organizations have complained on the irregularities and coverups in the investigation. They believe that Mora García was killed for his extensive coverage on the Mexican drug cartels, political corruption, and organized crime, but the motive of his assassination is still unsolved. ==Early life and career== Mora García was born in the Mexican city of Saltillo, Coahuila. He studied at the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education (ITESM) under a scholarship for academic excellence until he graduated in 1983. At the age of 22, he began his career as a news reporter, and he later went on to work as an editor for ''El Norte'' daily newspaper and as the director of ''El Diario de Monterrey'' (now known as ''Milenio''). In 2000, Mora García began to work for ''El Mañana'', a Spanish-language newspaper from the border city of Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, where he later became the director. He also wrote for Biznews, a distribution magazine based in northern Mexico and in the Rio Grande Valley, and for the ''North Mexico Business'', a local weekly economics newspaper.〔 His worked encompassed a serious coverage of the Mexican authorities relationship with the Gulf Cartel, a drug cartel based in Tamaulipas. Many of the articles he wrote talked about law enforcement involvement in drug trafficking, and the role former policemen had with Los Zetas in the extortion business. He was also a harsh critic of the former governor Tomás Yarrington and of the Tamaulipas attorney general Francisco Cayuela Villarreal.〔 In ''El Mañana'', Mora García criticized the local government for reportedly altering the homicide rate statistics in Nuevo Laredo; he argued that the authorities claimed some homicide victims had either committed suicide or died of a disease. When writing on the local drug trade, Mora García referred to drug traffickers by their real names. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roberto Javier Mora García」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
