Overview

• Authorities transported Duarte to the capital on Friday to appear before the Attorney General’s Office as part of a court-authorized proceeding.
• The transfer followed order FGR/FECOC/FEIAR-1951/2025 issued on September 19 and was cleared by a Control Judge in the Morelos judicial district after review.
• Chihuahua state agents conducted the custody transfer while Duarte wore an electronic monitoring bracelet, and the judiciary said the trip is limited to this proceeding with a same‑day return.
• Officials did not specify which investigation the appearance relates to.
• Duarte remains under prosecution for peculado (embezzlement) and criminal association with travel and monitoring restrictions, as a separate presidential complaint alleges 700,000 cubic meters of illegal water extraction from his property.
