Overview
- A federal judge, Gustavo Eduardo Alonso Ortiz, issued a written acquittal for the organized‑crime charge in cause penal 242/2024 after finding the Fiscalía General de la República did not prove the elements of that offense.
- The decision, issued this week, permits execution of a 2023 court order that substitutes preventive detention with prison domiciliaria, so Borge will leave the Ceferepsi federal prison to an approved residence under electronic bracelet supervision.
- The house‑arrest measure includes a 10 million peso guarantee that Borge already posted and will be served while a separate federal case for operations with resources of illicit origin (money laundering) remains active.
- Federal prosecutors allege Borge arranged below‑market sales of about two dozen state properties in Quintana Roo to relatives and front companies, a scheme the FGR says caused roughly 900 million pesos in alleged patrimonial damage.
- The court must formalize the written judgment (engrose) within days, after which authorities will implement the transfer to a domicile in the State of México and the money‑laundering process will continue under judicial supervision.
