Mario Plutarco Marín Torres (born June 28, 1954) is a Mexican politician affiliated with the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) who served as governor of the state of Puebla.

In February 2006, several telephone conversations between Kamel Nacif Borge and Mario Marín were revealed by the Mexico City daily La Jornada, causing a media frenzy.

The following month, Lydia Cacho sued Mario Marín in a federal court for bribery, influence trafficking, conspiracy to rape, and abuse of authority.

[1][2][3] In January 2007, the justices of the Supreme Court voted unanimously to look into the unusual circumstances surrounding Cacho's arrest by Puebla law enforcement officials in December 2005.

Specifically, a three-judge committee was appointed to determine whether Marín abused his authority by manipulating channels to facilitate Cacho's arrest at the behest of clothing magnate Kamel Nacif.
