Overview
- The law firm Vega Mac Gregor Arellano called off a planned press conference Thursday after it said the Fiscalía General de la República responded to its request to address a new complaint.
- The firm said the cancellation did not mean the complaint was withdrawn and that it will continue to represent the alleged victim through formal institutional channels with respect for due process.
- No public details have been released about the new November complaint, and the law firm declined to disclose the complainant’s identity, timing of the alleged events, or circumstances.
- The new matter is separate from the April 2, 2026, complaint by a 19-year-old U.S. model, a case in which Derbez denied the allegations, claimed he had evidence and witnesses, and alleged a $350,000 extortion attempt while prosecutors and courts reviewed procedural questions.
- The next steps are internal FGR investigative actions; reporters and the public should expect updates from the prosecutor’s office rather than media briefings as authorities review the separate accusations.
