Alex Marín Transferred to Undisclosed Facility Over Disciplinary Breach

The move comes with Marín still held under preventive detention on charges of human trafficking and sexual exploitation of a minor.

Overview

  • Security coordinator Roberto Alarcón Estrada confirmed on August 14 that Marín was moved from Penal de Puente Grande for an alleged disciplinary infraction without specifying the misconduct.
  • Authorities have declined to identify the new penitentiary or detail the nature of the breach, fueling media and public speculation.
  • Marín remains in preventive detention ordered through 2027 as specialized prosecutors pursue human trafficking and sexual exploitation of a minor charges.
  • The Fiscalía de Jalisco’s gender-and-trafficking units are continuing investigations under confidentiality protocols to protect the minor victim’s identity.
  • A July hearing to review detention measures was suspended after Marín’s lawyers withdrew, delaying judicial scrutiny of his preventive detention.
