Mexico City Prosecutors Reserve Iztapalapa Blast File Pending Friday Briefing

Prosecutors say law restricts access to active case records to parties in the process.

Overview

  • FGJCDMX confirmed the investigation records are legally reserved under the National Code of Criminal Procedure and the Transparency Law, which allow reservation for up to three years.
  • Access to the case file is limited to those directly involved in the proceedings, specifically victims and any accused individuals.
  • The office said an unnamed organization sought the file and related videos via a transparency request, which was denied because the materials are reserved.
  • Bertha Alcalde Luján emphasized the time frame is a legal requirement rather than an attempt to conceal information.
  • Prosecutors scheduled an Oct. 10 press conference with forensic experts to present initial findings from the Sept. 10 explosion that killed 31 people at the Puente de la Concordia in Iztapalapa.
