Overview

• Judge Ruby Celia Castellanos Barradas of the Tenth District Criminal Court granted a provisional suspension that bars Levy’s detention even if any alleged offense carries mandatory pretrial detention.
• The court ordered Mexico City’s control judge for Judicial Management Unit 8 to confirm within 48 hours whether an arrest order exists in case 008/734/2022 and to detail the alleged offense, applicable penalties, damages, and flight risk assessment.
• Levy filed amparo 683/2025 and also points to a prior ruling in amparo 208/2023 that protected him from an arrest order dated August 16, 2022.
• Levy denies the existence of an Interpol Red Notice, while media reports have claimed Mexican authorities sought one, leaving the status of any alert in dispute.
• The proceedings trace to a 2019 complaint by Emma Yolanda Santos over a Polanco project and heightened scrutiny after a 2021 video, with the current case file originating in the capital’s environmental and urban protection unit.
