Overview
- The Primer Tribunal Colegiado de Apelación unanimously revoked the vinculación a proceso and ordered Alejandro Vera’s immediate release after finding the prosecution’s evidence insufficient.
- The court said the funds at issue came from the federal treasury rather than from prior illicit activity, so the facts did not meet the legal definition of operations with resources of illicit origin under organized‑crime law.
- The ruling noted there is no proof Vera signed the 2014 Sedesol‑UAEM agreement or that he took part in contracting, awarding of bids, or authorization of subsequent bank transfers.
- The decision keeps on the record the Auditoría Superior de la Federación’s audit findings of irregularities, including more than 1.3 million duplicated records and that only 15.6% of planned surveys were completed.
- Prison authorities were notified and Vera was expected to leave the Altiplano within hours, while the court issued the non‑vinculation 'sin efectos de sobreseimiento' so the FGR may resume or expand investigations if it develops new evidence.
