Judge Revokes Suspension Shielding Naval Officer Fernando Farías From Preventive Detention

The decision clears the way for prosecutors to execute an arrest warrant in a hydrocarbons organized‑crime case.

Overview

  • Federal Judge Emma Cristina Carlos Ávalos denied a definitive suspension after first granting a provisional one, removing Farías’s protection against custody at the Altiplano prison.
  • The judge declared the new request without object because records show a prior definitive suspension was issued in Zacatecas, which she ruled cannot be duplicated.
  • Farías’s lawyers argue that the earlier Zacatecas amparo was filed by unauthorized third parties, saying it now hinders their strategy to properly contest the arrest order.
  • The defense says the investigation file delivered by the FGR on September 30 totals about 18,838 pages but is missing annexes and media, including the video titled “Mx.país.huachicol.”
  • An initial hearing is scheduled for October 20 before Judge Nancy Selene Hidalgo Pérez at the Altiplano, and the defense has asked the court to compel full evidence delivery and to reschedule.
