The Attorney General’s Office (FGR), through the Special Prosecutor’s Office in Human Rights (FEMDH), reported on Wednesday that he obtained a precautionary revocation of house arrest that weighed on the former governor of the State of Puebla (2005-2011), Mario Marín, and re-entered a penalty of the center of the country.
This for his alleged responsibility in the crime of torture committed against the journalist Lydia Cacho.
In a statement, the FGR explained that the decision was given after the Collegiate Court of Appeal of the Twenty -Seventh Circuit, based in the Cancun spa, Quintana Roo, revoked the precautionary measure of house prison granted by a criminal judge.
Therefore, agents of the National Guard (GN), under the Ministry of National Defense (Defense), “completed the determination of said court”, where Marín – of 70 years – was under house prison, with electronic bracelet and direct supervision since August 2024 ″,
However, the FEMDH, through the Special Prosecutor’s Office for the attention of crimes committed against freedom of expression (Feadle) challenged the decision because it was not adjusted to law, so it will be admitted to the Federal Center for Social Reinsertion Number 1 “Altiplano”, of the State of Mexico.

Mario Marín was pointed out by child prostitution
According to the FGR, the decision of the Court of Alzada establishes that “the resolution issued for the benefit of the accused lacked adequate foundation, did not value the procedural risks and omitted to consider the risk of escape and the severity of the imputed facts.”
For its part, the Federal Public Ministry (MPF), emphasized the transcendence at the country level of the matter “not only because of the nature of the crime of torture, but because it is an aggression against a journalist in the exercise of his freedom of expression, in a context of illegitimate use of state institutions to repress the right to information.”
Cacho, journalist and activist, was arrested in December 2005 by a dozen police officers who, without having a arrest warrant, transferred her from Cancun to the State of Puebla in a vehicle owned by the businessman of the textile industry José Kamel Nacif.
Mario Marín was one of the main ones indicated in the book dedicated to the investigation of the event entitled “The demons of Eden”, in which the journalist denounced a plot of pornography and child prostitution.
