“The definitive suspension is denied in the terms of this incidence,” determined the judge, who declared that he lacks legal competence by reason of territory to hear and resolve the present amparo lawsuit.

The above because Guzmán López is at the disposal of the control judge of the Federal Criminal Justice Center in the State of Mexicoresiding in Almoloya de Juárez, inside the Number One Social Readaptation Center, to continue the extradition procedure.

On January 5, the judge granted “El Ratón” an ex officio suspension regarding physical or psychological torture, for the sole purpose of immediately ceasing the execution of such acts and allowing him to communicate with family members or meet with the defenders designated as such.
