New Documentary Names Alleged Shooter in Paco Stanley Case

The film claims two protected former agents identify Carlos Acevedo, alias "El Pato," as the gunman and cites a reported $4 million money‑laundering debt as motive, though those assertions have not been confirmed by judicial authorities.

Overview

  • The documentary Testigos: La verdad tiene voz, Caso Paco Stanley was presented in the days before the June 7 anniversary and its producer publicly identified Carlos Acevedo, known as El Pato, as the alleged material shooter.
  • Producer Juan Carlos Uribe says the film includes testimony from two former Jalisco judicial agents now under U.S. protection who say they witnessed both the shooting and the order to kill.
  • Uribe and the film assert a motive of an unpaid $4 million money‑laundering debt and say the order was given at Reclusorio Sur, details drawn from the witnesses’ accounts rather than court records.
  • Reactions have been mixed: Paul Stanley criticized the project as profiting from his father’s death, while Mario Bezares and Paola Durante welcomed the film’s claim that it clears them of involvement.
  • The documentary is available on Uribe’s subscription platform Reellee TV, but media coverage stresses that the witnesses’ claims have not been independently corroborated by prosecutors or court rulings, leaving judicial verification as the next key step.
