Overview

  • On July 11, a tribunal in La Paz, Baja California Sur issued a final, unappealable order requiring Penguin Random House to print Televisa’s full right of reply in all future print, digital and audio editions of the book.
  • The court also directed the publisher to disclose a designated contact for handling future right‑of‑reply requests related to its titles.
  • The order centers on chapter 17’s claims that Televisa facilitated access to actresses for cartel figures via a “catalog,” allegations the company and several named actresses have publicly rejected.
  • Televisa is preparing collective lawsuits against Penguin Random House in Mexico, the United Kingdom and the United States for defamation and gender‑based violence claims, according to sources cited in EL CEO and El Imparcial.
  • An administrative sanction linked to Violeta Vizcarra was reported to include a 500,000‑peso fine and the allocation of 40% of the book’s sales to the affected party.
