Overview
- Judge Beatriz Martínez Taboada linked José Alberto Abud Flores and two collaborators to proceedings for drug possession in the narcomenudeo category.
- The trio will remain free under precautionary measures that include periodic signatures and a ban on leaving Campeche, while prosecutors have two months for supplementary investigation.
- The defense argues the drugs were planted and alleges protocol breaches in the first-responder process and chain of custody, with no photo or video of the seizure.
- Authorities have not delivered the police bodycam recordings requested for the case file, according to the defense and a state narcomenudeo prosecutor’s notice.
- The January 12 arrest on the UACAM campus followed an anonymous tip and has prompted accusations of political reprisal involving Governor Layda Sansores, as the defense prepares an amparo.
