Prosecutors Bind One Detainee Over for Trial After Morelia Government Palace Unrest

Authorities say the investigation remains open to identify additional participants from the break‑in at the state seat of government.

Overview

  • One of the eight people detained was bound over for trial on charges of sabotage and property damage tied to the Government Palace disturbance.
  • Seven detainees were released after initial inquiries found insufficient grounds to pursue charges for the break‑in.
  • Prosecutors identified the defendant as Raúl “N,” reported as being from Tijuana, based on evidence gathered from the incident.
  • Another detainee, Pedro “N,” a 34‑year‑old from Morelia, was held on an outstanding arrest warrant for alleged fraud unrelated to the unrest.
  • The state police detained the group in the historic center and turned them over to the Michoacán prosecutor’s office following protests that followed the killing of Uruapan mayor Carlos Manzo.
