Overview

  • FGJCDMX chief Bertha Alcalde said the office will ask a judge for arrest warrants, asserting there will be no impunity and no fabricated culpables.
  • Authorities report more than 120–130 interviews and dozens of forensic studies have been completed in the investigation.
  • The Giles family accuses the prosecutor’s office of negligence and protecting event firms OCESA and LOBO, alleging an irregular bid to rush judicialization on September 2.
  • One victims’ family urged the prosecutor to move the case forward, according to Alcalde, who rejected claims of protection and noted requests to charge a ticketing firm that she says had no role in the collapsed crane.
  • Photojournalists Citlali Berenice Giles Rivera and Miguel Ángel Rojas Hernández died on April 5 when a metal structure being moved by a crane fell, which civil protection authorities linked to strong wind gusts.
