Puebla Prosecutors Win Trial Link for Alleged Fake Psychiatrist in Two New Cases

A control judge upheld pretrial detention after finding sufficient evidence of professional impersonation.

Overview

  • The newly judicialized complaints detail incidents on March 11, 2019 in Puebla’s Azcárate neighborhood and on August 29, 2024 at consultorio 1706 in Torres Médicas II, San Andrés Cholula.
  • Prosecutors say the defendant diagnosed patients and issued prescriptions for controlled medications without a professional license.
  • After reviewing evidence at the initial hearing, the judge ordered the case to proceed for the probable crime of usurpation of functions.
  • The defendant remains in a social reintegration center under preventive detention, having been arrested in Tlaxcala on November 21.
  • Media reports note prior proceedings since 2025 for threats and impersonation, and one accusation involves the alleged misuse of Dr. Rodrigo Orcajo Castelán’s identity.
