After a state hearing, FGR detained ex-prosecutor César Jáuregui on federal charges

César Gustavo Jáuregui Moreno, former Attorney General of Chihuahua state, was placed under federal custody to face an independent national judicial process, according to Gilberto Loya Chávez, acting head of the State Attorney General’s Office of Chihuahua. The Federal Public Ministry (FGR) executed a federal arrest warrant against the former official shortly after the initial hearing related to charges of illegal exercise of public service and collusion tied to an operation conducted in April in the municipality of Morelos, Chihuahua. Loya Chávez stated this is a separate process handled by the FGR and a federal judge. The federal detention occurred after the defense requested an extension of the constitutional term to determine if Jáuregui Moreno would be formally charged. The controlling judge ruled that the former official would proceed in freedom but under precautionary measures, including restrictions on leaving the state or country, surrendering his Mexican passport and U.S. visa, and monthly check-ins with authorities. The federal charge relates to an investigation into the involvement of U.S. agents in an operation targeting a clandestine drug laboratory in El Pinal, Morel

César Jáuregui denies involvement in intervention by foreign agents in Chihuahua; says there is no evidence

César Gustavo Jáuregui Moreno, former prosecutor of Chihuahua state, denied involvement in allowing foreign agents' intervention during an operation in El Pinal, stating there is no evidence linking him to the alleged actions. In a statement before the court during an October 18, 2026 hearing, Jáuregui claimed that no specific references, behaviors, or communications indicate his participation in decisions related to the foreign agents' involvement. He emphasized that an exhaustive investigation involving over 40 witnesses from the State Attorney General’s Office and other officials found no direct evidence of his involvement, such as orders or messages. Jáuregui further accused the Federal Attorney General’s Office (FGR) of reaching conclusions based on videos showing meetings with two officials, whom he frequently met with, and warned that the case has political undertones, raising concerns about Mexico's democracy and institutional independence.
