Overview
- A Mexico City control judge bound four UNAM security employees over for trial on qualified homicide and imposed preventive detention, setting three months for additional investigation.
- The ruling follows the Oct. 25 incident outside Estadio Olímpico Universitario after a Liga MX match, where Rodrigo Mondragón died following his detention by campus security.
- Case files presented to the court describe asphyxia consistent with a chokehold, while authorities continue to examine a possible skull fracture as a contributing factor.
- UNAM’s security directorate turned over surveillance footage to the city prosecutor’s office to support the criminal inquiry.
- Security workers at the university have staged protests at Rectoría and on Insurgentes, demanding the ouster of commanders and legal support for detained colleagues, as leaked video and witness accounts show forceful handling during the arrest.
