Overview
- Fourth District Judge Daniel Marcelino Niño Jiménez in the State of Mexico ordered the pause, specifying it is limited to halting the proceeding once the intermediate stage concludes.
- The ruling does not amount to acquittal or automatic release and only preserves the status quo while the amparo is reviewed.
- The FGR has charged Pedraza with organized crime and operations with resources of illicit origin tied to her role during the Calderón-era SSP.
- FEMDO alleges she acted as legal representative of Nunvav, Inc., a vehicle reportedly used to move funds and divert about 5,112 million pesos benefiting Genaro García Luna and relatives.
- Pedraza was detained in December by Policía Federal Ministerial agents of the FGR’s Criminal Investigation Agency, and the suspension will remain in place until the February 20 hearing on a possible definitive measure.
