Overview

• Defense filings for former Mexican security chief Genaro García Luna detail alleged mistreatment during transfers through USP Lee and FTC Oklahoma, including denial of showers and utensils, and report a 14–17 kg weight loss.
• Lawyers say they had only three hours of contact in eight months and secured a first call since January on July 31, prompting a request to extend the appeal deadline from September 19 to December 18 due to lack of access to transcripts and case files.
• García Luna is now at ADX Florence with improved basic conditions, but his team says key legal materials remain inaccessible, complicating preparation of a complex appeal record exceeding 2,000 pages.
• In Avellaneda, prosecutors ordered the release of 104 Universidad de Chile supporters detained after violent clashes at Independiente’s stadium; Chile’s President Gabriel Boric confirmed the decision following diplomatic engagement.
• Authorities report at least 19 injured, two critically, the stadium is closed for forensic work, Conmebol will send reports to its disciplinary commission, and Buenos Aires officials and Independiente dispute responsibility for security failures.
