Overview
- Federal judges in Tabasco, Zacatecas and Mexico City admitted provisional suspensions that cited risks of detention, incomunication or disappearance tied to a huachicol fiscal probe.
- Filings list Andrés Manuel and Gonzalo López Beltrán, with some reports also naming José Ramón, yet the petitions lack beneficiary signatures and were filed by purported representatives.
- Andrés Manuel “Andy” López Beltrán denied requesting any protection, renounced the filings, labeled them a montaje and urged the judiciary to investigate their origin across multiple courts.
- Lawyer Francisco Javier Rodríguez Smith, named as a promoter, denied involvement, announced complaints for identity usurpation and document falsification, and at least one judge set a three‑day ratification deadline.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum called the episode a campaign of calumnies, said the ex-president’s sons are not in the official huachicol investigation, and legal experts noted such amparos are admitted immediately but lapse if not ratified.
