Overview

• The Tribunal Colegiado de Apelación del Vigésimo Sexto Circuito in La Paz ruled on July 11 that Penguin Random House must include Televisa’s right of reply in future print, digital and audio editions of Las señoras del narco: Amar en el infierno.
• The court said allegations about a supposed Televisa actresses’ “catalog” tied to Arturo Beltrán Leyva lacked evidentiary support, including claims involving a non‑existent executive referenced as “Burillo.”
• The order requires the publisher to identify on its website the person responsible for receiving and resolving future right‑of‑reply requests related to the title.
• Penguin Random House stated the appellate sentence is not definitive, said it has filed an amparo, alleged procedural irregularities, and asserted the decision does not mandate a public apology or address moral‑damage claims.
• Reports say Televisa is preparing additional legal actions in Mexico, the United Kingdom and the United States, while actresses named in the book, including Paty Navidad, Galilea Montijo and Alicia Machado, have publicly denied the assertions and Navidad celebrated the ruling.
