Overview

• Authorities confirmed Paloma Jazmín “N” and Víctor Manuel “N” remain in preventive custody at CERESO No. 1 on accusations of omission of care, document falsification and usurpation of profession.
• The defense requested the constitutional term extension; the Oct. 3 hearing will address formal linkage to process, and officials say the pair receive no special treatment in custody.
• Forensic pathology and necropsy results are still pending and could determine additional charges, with prosecutors noting the girl died days after the procedure rather than in surgery.
• Investigators are probing irregular clinical practices, including an allegedly falsified COVID-19 test tied to the case; the implicated laboratory says it will pursue legal action.
• Lawmakers introduced ‘Ley Nicole’ proposals in Mexico City and the Senate to ban elective cosmetic surgery on minors, with limited medical exceptions and sanctions for violators, as other states consider similar measures and residents marched in Durango calling for justice.
