Juan Colladowho was a lawyer for politicians such as Enrique Peña Nieto or Carlos Salinas de Gortari, will not be released because his due process is in the intermediate phase and in the midst of a series of protections, according to the journalist Arturo Angeldespite the fact that the Attorney General of the Republic (FGR) an exoneration was reserved for at least two years.
With this, the proposal to exercise non-criminal action would be invalidated and Collado will remain in the North Reclusorio from Mexico City, where he has been lying since July 2019, when he was arrested by elements of the FGR; in September 2020, a federal court determined that he should continue with said injunction.
Because the Prosecutor’s Office hid such criteria of opportunity from Juan Collado’s defense for two years, the lawyer’s relatives considered that it was the opportunity for him to resume his freedom and continue his process out of prison. However, he must remain with a precautionary measure established since September 2020.
How was the case of Juan Collado?
On July 9, 2019, agents of the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) captured Juan Collado, on charges of operations with resources of illicit origin and organized crime. Due to the seriousness of these crimes and given a possible risk of flight, according to the FGR, he was sent to the CDMX North Prison.
By August 2020, the FGR accused the crime of tax fraud for a value of 36 million pesos and embezzlement for 13.7 million pesos, both illegal to the detriment of the Government of Chihuahua. In September 2020, a federal court ruled that he had to continue in pretrial detention and was linked to the process.
During the year 2021, Collado related to Julio Scherer Ibarra, former legal adviser to the federal government, for an extortion attempt, as he stated that people close to the latter asked him to hand over the shares of his company (Caja Libertad) in exchange for regaining his freedom. Because of the above, he sought a new criterion of opportunity.
Despite the complaint made by Juan Collado, Julio Scherer’s staff was exonerated by the judge Padierna in 2022; In response, the defense of Yadhira Carrillo’s husband filed a complaint against said judge, this under the charge of influence peddling. Meanwhile, the FGR sought that the Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF) provide new evidence against the so-called “power attorney.”
Already for this 2023, the FGR annulled the fraud process against Juan Collado, however, requested 38 years in prison and a fine of 173 million pesos as reparation for the damage, because the lawyer is accused of similar purchase of a building used by your company Liberty Box.
