Rear Admiral Manuel Roberto Farías Laguna, currently incarcerated in a maximum-security prison in the State of Mexico, has sent a formal letter to President Claudia Sheinbaum accusing the Secretary of the Navy of failing to comply with judicial resolutions vital to his defense. He points out that the navy has repeatedly ignored court orders requiring the provision of essential information, which were issued by a judge on November 10, 2025, and January 22, 2023. Farías claims these actions undermine his legal rights and challenge the integrity of his ongoing criminal proceedings.

In the letter disclosed by Mendienta & Asociados, Farías emphasizes the urgency of addressing these issues as he approaches the conclusion of the complementary investigation related to his case. He criticizes the military authority for continuously denying access to the required information, justifying their refusal with a generic claim of "national security". Notably, this argument has not received validation from the judiciary and contradicts explicit judicial orders, which places his defense at a significant disadvantage.

This situation raises concerns about the potential impacts on the judicial process and the adherence to legal protocols within the military justice system. The allegations made by Farías could highlight deeper systemic issues regarding transparency and accountability in how military personnel are treated within the criminal justice framework in Mexico, particularly in sensitive cases involving national security claims.
