The Federation of Bar Associations and Colleges of Sinaloa (FAS) was pronounced against the elimination of informal preventive detention, a topic that the ministers of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation have in their hands. The lawyers of this organization joined the position that the governors of the 32 states of the country sent to the ministers on the issue. The president of the FAS, Francisco Javier Villarreal Gastélum, explained that eliminating informal preventive detention opens the door for individuals for whom there is evidence of their responsibility in serious crimes to walk free.
This concern is understandable, but if this figure disappears, it would not be correct for those who are in prison in that condition to automatically leave. The logic would be that this provision would apply from now on, not retroactively. Just as there are lawyers who are against it, there are also those who are in favor of the elimination of informal preventive detention for the abuses that are committed when there is a judge who submits to the orders of those in power or who plot tricks from the authorities. to keep his adversaries in jail. The most emblematic case is that of the former Secretary of Social Development Rosario Robles, who after a couple of years in prison she was acquitted. Those who advocate for the preventive prison.
However, there is a large sector of society that agrees that preventive detention is applied in serious crimes as long as there are indications of the alleged responsibility of the accused and there is a risk of flight.
