Overview

  • Video posted by the Coliseo Boxing Club shows Chávez Jr. working out in Hermosillo days after leaving the Cefereso 11 facility.
  • A federal judge linked him to proceedings for organized crime related to clandestine arms trafficking and ordered him to remain free under restrictions.
  • The court set a three-month complementary investigation, with the next hearing expected in November.
  • Prosecutors said they presented 21 pieces of evidence, including phone intercepts and a boxing robe allegedly found at a property tied to Néstor Pérez Salas, known as “El Nini.”
  • Defense lawyer Rubén Benítez denies any cartel connection, challenges the intercepts and the robe’s provenance, and says the boxer is also barred from contacting investigators.
