Mario Aburto Martínez (born 3 October 1970) is a Mexican man who was convicted forassassinating presidential candidateLuis Donaldo Colosio in 1994.[1] He confessed to the murder and was sentenced to 42 years in prison.[1] Despite the confession and conviction, theNew York Times reported that there was widespread belief within Mexico that the conviction involved a conspiracy and coverup mainly byCarlos Salinas de Gortari (the president at that time) andManuel Camacho Solís (a member of Salinas'cabinet).[1][2] A later Mexican film calledColosio, el asesinato alleged that the Salinas government was behind the crime.
