• A judge granted the defense a 144‑hour term extension, setting the next hearing for October 7, and ordered justified preventive detention in the interim.
• Authorities allege more than 140 million pesos intended for business development were diverted through simulated contracts and loans to purchase units and generate profit.
• Investigators assumed control of a company tied to the project and the Avaterra condominium administration, immobilized property records, and prioritized securing vacant units while assuring residents face no impact.
• Searches on September 25 seized key documents at an office on Avenida Manuel Acuña and at the complex, with about 340 units and two common areas under custody, as prosecutors continue to pursue fugitive Jaime Alberto Moreno Cardeña under an active Interpol request and probe roles of businesspeople, notaries and lawyers.
