Abraham Oseguera, alias “Don Rodo,” was arrested by Mexican authorities the previous week in Jalisco, However, early Sunday morning a judge ordered his release.

After a 17-hour hearing, The court considered that there were not enough elements to bring this individual to trial for crimes against health and possession of weapons for the exclusive use of the armed forces, that the Attorney General’s Office of the Republic had accused him of.

In addition to being the brother of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias “El Mencho”, Don Rodo is considered one of the main coordinators of logistical and financial operations dedicated to money laundering and in charge of drug trafficking and sale for the criminal organization of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel to which he allegedly belongs. The narrative presented by the prosecution ensures that Abraham was in possession of a high-caliber arsenal and drugs at the time of his capture, however relatives of the accused assured that federal elements had committed abuses and possible robberies during the operation to capture him.

Joined to them one of the doctors who treats Don Rodo indicated that his physical condition and state of health would prevent him from handling weapons of the dimensions referred to by the national guard, To strengthen this version he explained that Abraham is 70 years old and suffers from several chronic degenerative diseases. To the refutations provided by the defense was added the fact that according to the analyzes delivered to the judge, no traces of the accused were found on the weapons. nor in the drugs seized by the national guard.

The sum of these elements led the court to decide that there was not enough data to link Abraham Oseguera to the process, which is why it requested his immediate release.Mencho’s brother could leave the Altiplano prison unless the prosecutor’s office has an additional criminal case against him and charges him with other crimes.
