Jalisco Prosecution Advances Junior H Probe After Statement on Alleged Crime Glorification

The case tied to his October performance of “El Azul” will move toward possible judicialization once prosecutors determine they have sufficient evidence.

Overview

  • Junior H appeared on November 11 before a Jalisco Ministerio Público to give a statement in an open investigation for alleged apología del delito.
  • The inquiry stems from his late‑October rendition of “El Azul” at the Fiestas de Octubre palenque, which authorities say references organized crime.
  • Under Article 142 of Jalisco’s penal code, apología del delito can carry one to six months in prison, though no charges have been filed to date.
  • Zapopan originated the complaint, fined the singer 33,942 pesos, and imposed a temporary bar on public performances, while Guadalajara canceled a November 16 show citing unmet permit requirements.
  • After the scrutiny, the artist issued a public apology and pledged to avoid contentious material as discussion intensifies over limits on corridos tumbados.
