Overview
- District Judge Daniel Marcelino Niño Jiménez in Toluca rejected Ye Gon’s request to change his precautionary measure after reviewing the case record.
- The ruling deemed the defense’s complaints inoperative and unfounded and held that preventive detention is lawful.
- The FGR’s evaluation highlighted lack of domiciliary ties, residences in various countries, properties in China, and an outstanding local warrant as indicators of flight risk.
- Ye Gon argued he has spent more than 17 years in preventive detention contrary to the Constitution’s two‑year guideline, but his criminal case remains unresolved without a final sentence.
- He continues facing proceedings for organized crime, drug offenses, money‑laundering and weapons charges, following his 2016 extradition linked to the 2007 mega cash seizure.
