Judge Orders Criminal Proceedings Against Cruz Martínez on Family‑Violence Charge

The case enters a two‑month investigative phase under court‑ordered no‑contact restrictions.

Overview

  • Cruz Martínez was formally linked to criminal proceedings in Nuevo León on a family‑violence allegation involving Alicia Villarreal, covering physical, psychological and patrimonial modalities.
  • A control judge set a two‑month window for complementary investigation and ordered Martínez to avoid Villarreal and places she frequents and to check in with authorities every 15 days.
  • Martínez stated on social media that accusations of attempted femicide and theft were dismissed and asserted that the proceeding does not establish guilt.
  • Villarreal held a press conference saying she fears for her safety, described prior violence and recent threats, and urged authorities to deepen the inquiry.
  • Villarreal’s lawyer said Martínez has not been absolved of serious offenses, clarifying that vinculación a proceso is not an acquittal, while Martínez announced a defamation counterclaim he describes as international.
