Judge Orders Preventive Detention for Ex–García Luna Aide Jesús Caballero in FGR Probe

Prosecutors say he helped simulate prison‑system contracts to route public funds to companies tied to Genaro García Luna.

Overview

  • A control judge imposed preventive detention on Jesús Alberto Caballero Tardaguila after his initial hearing, following his arrest in Cuernavaca by AIC agents.
  • FEMDO imputed him for organized crime, embezzlement, and operations with illicit proceeds linked to federal penitentiary resources.
  • Investigators allege he took part between 2013 and 2015 in simulated service contracts within the OADPRS to divert funds to companies connected to the former public security chief.
  • Caballero was ordered held at Cefereso No. 1 (Altiplano) in Almoloya de Juárez, and his defense requested the duplicidad del término constitucional to define his legal status.
  • The detention formed part of a coordinated effort with the federal Security Cabinet, and it follows the December 17 arrest of María Vanesa Pedraza Madrid in a related probe of roughly 5 billion pesos.
