On this fact, the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) reported that the 62-year-old man was linked to the process, however, only for the crime of manslaughter, which does not merit informal preventive detention.
“Originally, the Prosecutor’s Office had provided the evidence to request their connection for the crime of murder, and during the hearing, the Judge decided to change the charge to manslaughter,” the agency said.
The judge set a period of 3 months as a complementary investigation period, “while a variation was also approved in the precautionary measure, and it was decided to grant house arrest due to the exception provided for in paragraph 166 of the National Code of Criminal Procedures. “
With shouts of ” SI SE PUDO,” Ramón Merino was received outside the courtrooms of Orizaba. Family and friends there waited for him with banners that demanded the authorities his freedom.
