• The disciplinary case proceeds before the Consejo de Asuntos Internos, which will rule on administrative responsibility and apply sanctions proportional to the facts.
• Authorities cited internal rules noting that conduct while wearing FGJCDMX insignia may damage the institution’s image and could constitute abandonment of duty during work hours.
