Overview

• The Fiscalía General de Justicia de la Ciudad de México opened an investigation in April into four organizing firms over the deaths of photojournalists Berenice Giles and Miguel Ángel Rojas.
• Festival promoter Ocesa ignored a July 1 summons and has not appeared to testify in the ongoing homicide investigation.
• Family lawyers contend the FGJ’s three-month delay in citing Ocesa amounts to shielding the company from accountability.
• Private forensic analyses commissioned by the families determined that failures in civil protection protocols led to the crane collapse.
• Protesters have demonstrated outside the FGJ and sought an audience with President Claudia Sheinbaum to demand expedited proceedings and stricter safety reforms for large-scale events.
