Overview

• Aureoles obtained a provisional amparo known as a “buscador” that shields him from any new arrest, detention or summons orders distinct from the existing warrant.
• Judge Jovita Vargas ruled the protection applies even to offenses that ordinarily carry mandatory pretrial detention and blocks execution of any preventive custody imposed while the suspension is in force.
• To keep the measure, he must deposit a 100,000‑peso guarantee and appear within five business days before the authority that ordered his detention.
• He was cited to attend an August 20 initial hearing before a control judge at Reclusorio Oriente for alleged peculado, money laundering, criminal association and fraudulent administration tied to seven police barracks contracts.
• The original arrest warrant remains active after a June denial of amparo by the same judge, with appellate review pending before the Fifth Collegiate Tribunal as the FGR alleges inflated contracts with Inmobiliaria DYF causing about 3.412 billion pesos in damage, including 1.052 billion directly attributed.
