Judge issues justified preventive detention to Javier Duarte

A judge has ordered justified preventive detention for Javier Duarte, the former governor of Veracruz, following accusations of embezzling five million pesos.

A recent ruling by Judge Gustavo Aquiles VillaseΓ±or has led to the justified preventive detention of Javier Duarte, the ex-governor of Veracruz. This decision comes after the Attorney General's Office (FGR) formally charged Duarte with embezzlement involving five million pesos, which were allegedly misappropriated from federal funds allocated for a support fund for individuals. This new legal challenge significantly impacts Duarte's hopes of regaining his freedom as he was previously anticipating a potential release in April.
