Overview

  • A judge in Hermosillo released the 39-year-old from custody but prohibited him from leaving Mexico and set a three-month window for further investigation.
  • He was deported earlier in August after a July 3 DHS arrest in Los Angeles tied to a Mexican warrant and a lapsed U.S. tourist visa.
  • Prosecutors accuse him of organized crime and arms trafficking connected to the Sinaloa Cartel, allegations his lawyers and family reject.
  • Video from the Coliseo Boxing Club in Hermosillo showed him training, and the gym told Reuters he worked out there on Monday.
  • Mexico’s case dates to a 2019 probe, and he was briefly jailed in Sonora following his deportation before the court granted release pending trial.
