Overview
- Prosecutors in Mexico City obtained an arrest warrant this month in an investigation into an alleged April sexual assault of a 19-year-old model during a music-video shoot in Coyoacán.
- A federal judge granted an amparo that temporarily suspends the execution of the arrest warrant, leaving the detention order without effect while the court reviews the legal challenge.
- The Fiscalía says officers have tried at least seven times to notify Derbez at six different addresses and that the criminal probe remains open and active.
- Derbez’s lawyer says the actor lives abroad, denies he is evading justice, calls the complaint an extortion attempt, and defends the lawfulness of the amparo.
- Next steps include the tribunal's final ruling on the amparo and whether authorities succeed in notifying Derbez so an initial hearing can be held and a decision on vinculación a proceso can follow.
