Overview
- Federal Judge Mariana Vieyra Valdez ordered the FGR to deliver all 20 volumes in the case against Vice Admiral Manuel Roberto Farías Laguna and to justify any information reservations before the court.
- The order requires the original file to be shown to the defense without redactions, allows redactions only on copies, and sets a compliance deadline for January 27 at 10:00 a.m.
- The Navy said recent separations of personnel, including the Farías Laguna brothers, were administrative for failing to perform duties, while confirming six marinos detained and two fugitives.
- Manuel Roberto Farías Laguna remains in Altiplano custody, and his brother Fernando is a fugitive reportedly subject to an Interpol notice, as prosecutors pursue a broader tax-evasion probe.
- The investigation expanded after the Challenge Procyon shipment was found to contain diesel misdeclared as additives, with 13 people under process including marinos and customs-linked intermediaries.
