Jalisco Opens Criminal Probe Into Junior H Over Alleged Crime Advocacy at October Show

Prosecutors will compile evidence to determine whether to bring the case to court.

Overview

  • State prosecutors confirmed an investigation after the singer performed the corrido “El Azul” at the Fiestas de Octubre palenque on October 28.
  • Junior H, identified by authorities as Antonio “N,” appeared at the Vicefiscalía on November 11 in response to a summons from a public prosecutor.
  • The inquiry cites Article 142 of Jalisco’s penal code, which sets a penalty of one to six months in jail for public provocation or praise of crime if no offense is carried out.
  • The Fiscalía said the case remains in the investigative phase with no formal charges filed, and it urged the public not to normalize violence.
  • Zapopan’s mayor said the artist is barred from municipal public events, and a November 16 show in Guadalajara was reported to be at risk of cancellation.
