A federal tribunal issued an arrest warrant against Mario Plutarco Marín Torres , a former Puebla Governor; Hugo Adolfo Karam Beltrán , a former state police chief; Juan Sánchez Moreno, the former director of the now-defunct group of injunctions, and José Kamel Nacif Borge , a businessman who negotiated with Mario Marín, in order to protect pedophile Jean Succar Kuri. They are accused of torturing journalist Lydia Cacho.

Sources from the federal government confirmed that on April 11, a magistrate in Quintana Roo revoked an agreement issued by a judge, where he refused to issue an arrest warrant against the former officials, the businessman, and the former Governor.

As a result, the Federal Prosecutor's Office has been ordered to search and arrest the culprits. The judge has been ordered to fulfill the resolution and solve the issue regarding the political immunity of some of the culprits.
