Overview
- On June 26, 2026, judges ordered Borge removed from the federal psychiatric prison and fitted with a geolocated electronic bracelet before transfer to a residence to serve prison domiciliary measures.
- The court-certified conditions include a 10 million peso guarantee, surrender of travel documents, a ban on leaving the country, and prohibitions on contacting certain authorities and parties.
- Borge was acquitted of the organized‑crime charge on May 28, 2026, after a federal judge found the prosecution did not prove he led a criminal group.
- The Fiscalía General de la República alleges he used his office to sell 22 state reserve properties in Quintana Roo to shell companies for about 238.79 million pesos when their estimated value exceeded 1,138.89 million pesos, an alleged shortfall of roughly 900.1 million pesos.
- The case has a complex procedural history including extradition from Panama in 2018, prior precautionary rulings for home detention, judge recusals that delayed execution, and recent reports that the finance ministry seized properties for unpaid taxes as legal and fiscal battles continue.
