Grupo Pachuca has publicly condemned an arrest warrant issued against itsโ president, โJesรบs โMartรญnez Patiรฑo, and director Hipรณlito Gerardo Cabrera Acosta,โ calling the legal action a โviolation of thierโฃ fundamental rights. The warrant, issued October 27th by a Mexico City control judge, stems from a commercial dispute with Fox Sports Mรฉxico.
The dispute centers on the broadcast rights โขfor matches of Pachuca and Leรณn,clubs owned by Grupo Pachuca. โขFox Sports Mรฉxico accuses Martรญnez Patiรฑo and Cabreraโข Acostaโ of “disobedienceโ by โขindividuals” for authorizing broadcasts despiteโข ongoing contractual disagreements. Grupo pachuca maintains it acted within its โคlegal โrights after its โฃagreement โคwith Grupo Lauman, owner of Fox Sports โMรฉxico, concluded on May 26, โฃ2024, โandโข a new broadcasting contract was established with another company – reportedly โwith โฃthe initial consent ofโ Grupo lauman.
