Federal Judge Issues New Arrest Warrant for Raúl Rocha Cantú

A federal forensic report traces nearly 3 billion pesos through six corporate vehicles in a multi‑level laundering scheme that the FGR tied to the investigation.

Overview

  • A judge at the Federal Criminal Justice Center in Almoloya de Juárez reportedly authorized the new arrest warrant on October 19, 2026, naming Rocha Cantú, his son Mauricio Jesús Rocha Botello and four other alleged participants.
  • The Fiscalía General de la República’s August 4, 2026 dictamen documents roughly 1.83 billion pesos in deposits to GI Euromex and about 762.76 million pesos to Impulsora Eagle between 2014 and 2025.
  • Prosecutors describe a three‑level scheme in which at least 17 shell companies funneled funds into GI Euromex, which then redistributed money to individuals and other entities without clear commercial justification.
  • Rocha Cantú already faced a December 15, 2025 arrest authorization tied to organized crime charges for arms and hydrocarbons, and he has been reported as a fugitive after losing witness‑collaborator protection.
  • The case remains an active federal investigation and pending judicial process, the allegations have not been adjudicated, and the probe could affect the ownership and operations tied to the Miss Universe business.
