Overview

• FECOC judicialized the case under file FED/SEIDF/UEIDCSPCAJ-CDMX/0002222/2017 and filed it with the Federal Criminal Justice Center at Reclusorio Sur, where a hearing date has not yet been set.
• Prosecutors seek to impute and link the ex Sedatu and Sedesol official to process for illicit enrichment, a crime that now carries automatic preventive detention but not retroactively for alleged acts from 2012–2018.
• A control judge could still order preventive detention if a grounded flight risk is found, according to the current constitutional framework.
• Reporting identifies Zebadúa as an alleged architect of the scheme that routed 5,073,358,846 pesos through Sedatu and Sedesol contracts, mainly with higher-education institutions in nine states.
• An administrative inquiry opened in May cited inconsistencies in his 2018 asset filings, alleging an unjustified increase of 899,625 pesos that feeds into the criminal case.
