Overview

• A federal judge linked Julio César Chávez Jr. to a case for organized crime and clandestine arms introduction, granted conditional release, and set a follow-up hearing for late November.
• Court measures keep him in Mexico and impose additional restrictions, allowing him to await proceedings outside prison after leaving a federal facility in Hermosillo.
• The FGR outlined 21 pieces of evidence, including intercepted calls referencing Néstor Pérez Salas, alias “El Nini,” and a boxing robe found at a property tied to him, which the defense disputes as unauthenticated.
• Defense lawyer Rubén Fernando Benítez dismissed the materials as weak, citing social-media screenshots and an anonymous audio clip, and vowed to challenge the case.
• Coliseo Boxing Club in Hermosillo posted video of the boxer back in training and his reunion with his father, after ICE arrested him in Los Angeles in July and deported him to Mexico in August in a coordinated handover.
