FGR fails to get Emilio Lozoya's sister imprisoned; judge ratifies his provisional release

The Mexican Attorney General's Office (FGR) failed in its attempt to detain Gilda Susana Lozoya Austin, the sister of former Pemex director Emilio Lozoya Austin, who was accused of money laundering in the Agronitrogenados case. Judge Ileana García Peralta reaffirmed Gilda's provisional release, dismissing the FGR's arguments for preventive detention. During a nine-hour hearing at the Federal Penitentiary Court in the North Reclusion Center, the judge rejected evidence presented by prosecutors, including risk assessments of flight, financial reports, and migration records. She stated that Gilda has not attempted to evade justice, maintains family ties, and returned to Mexico without issues after leaving on June 24. The judge criticized the FGR for lacking updated investigative efforts since the arrest order was issued in June 2023, emphasizing that unverified information cannot justify preventive detention. Gilda remains under judicial process with provisional liberty but must report to the National Guard’s Measures Unit (UMECAS) every 15 days starting July 15 and is restricted from leaving the Valley of Mexico metropolitan area.
