Overview

  • Alejandro Germán, known as 'Lord Pádel', his partner Othón, his wife Karla Alejandra, and his son Germán were bound over for trial on attempted homicide charges in Barrientos, Tlalnepantla.
  • A judge’s protection order allows Germán and Othón to face proceedings in freedom, and both were absent from the hearing under that safeguard.
  • Karla Alejandra and Germán remain in pretrial detention at the Barrientos prison following the control judge’s ruling.
  • The judge set a two-month period for complementary inquiries, and the defense, led by Rafael Reyes Retana, offered reparations to the victim.
  • Prosecutors opened the case after video of the July 19 assault on instructor Israel Morales went viral; authorities say he suffered rib fractures and contusions and note an earlier arrest operation involved Interpol, the FGJEM, and the FGR.
