Overview

• The initial hearing set for September 11 was deferred to September 19 after defendants asked the judge for access to the case file.
• The family’s legal team seeks to charge 12 individuals and three companies with negligent homicide and is pursuing a separate omissions hearing on September 29 to have OCESA and LOBO treated as accused parties.
• FGJCDMX chief Bertha Alcalde says the probe is exhaustive with roughly 120 to 130 interviews and dozens of expert reports, and that the office will request arrest warrants to judicialize the case.
• Relatives accuse the prosecution of delays, revictimization and an expedited hearing request granted in under 24 hours that would list OCESA and LOBO as witnesses rather than suspects.
• OCESA states it was not the promoter or organizer and acted only as a supplier, asserting it is cooperating with authorities, while the prosecution has also signaled that the ticketing firm sought by victims’ counsel lacks involvement in the crane collapse.
