Overview
- Judge Emma Cristina Carlos Ávalos denied and declared moot the bid for a definitive suspension tied to the August 19 arrest order against Fernando Farías, according to federal court records.
- With the amparo withdrawn, the FGR can execute the warrant, and Farías is currently considered a fugitive in a case pursued as organized crime related to hydrocarbon offenses.
- The ruling cited a prior definitive suspension granted by a Zacatecas court, which made a second, overlapping protection impermissible under amparo law.
- Farías’s lawyers say the prosecution delivered an 18,838‑page case file late and incomplete, missing media including the video “Mx.país.huachicol,” and they sought more time to prepare.
- An initial hearing is scheduled for October 20 in Almoloya de Juárez, while 14 co-defendants — including Vice Admiral Manuel Roberto Farías — have already been bound over for trial and placed in preventive custody.
