Judge Grants House Arrest for Doña Carlota in Chalco Double-Homicide Case

A federal judge authorized home confinement on humanitarian grounds following an amparo that cited her age and medical needs.

Overview

  • A district judge modified her pretrial detention to home confinement, with transfer from the Chalco prison expected Friday or Saturday once conditions are met.
  • Release requires a 250,000‑peso bond, proof she lacks a valid passport, and timely court appearances, with documentation due within three business days.
  • Additional terms include an electronic monitor, a ban on leaving the residence or the country, no contact with victims, limits on social gatherings, and unannounced home inspections.
  • The April 1, 2025 shooting in Chalco remains under investigation, with authorities alleging she returned armed and killed Justin N. and Esaú N. and wounded a minor.
  • Her children, Eduardo and Mariana, remain in pretrial detention in San Mateo Huitzilzingo, and a separate defendant received six years for despojo linked to the dispute after a similar request for house arrest was denied in November 2025.
