Mexico City.- The Attorney General’s Office of Mexico City (FGJ-CDMX) informed a federal court that at this time there is no arrest warrant against Brian Rodríguez, a Uruguayan player for the América soccer club, who was charged last May with the alleged crimes of aggravated rape and breach of trust.
According to court records, the Thirteenth District Court in Amparo in Mexico City refused to grant the footballer a definitive suspension, a judicial protection that in these cases is only granted when there is a deprivation of liberty order.
This ruling was issued in an appeal that the Uruguayan winger filed on July 16 against any alleged arrest warrant that may have been issued against him, outside of a legal procedure.
The request for guarantees was filed against the FGJ-CDMX, the General Chief of the Investigative Police and the head of the Directorate of Compliance and Execution of Judicial Orders of said Prosecutor’s Office.
Last week, the capital authorities, including the Director of Criminal Investigation in Territorial Prosecutors’ Offices, in the absence of the General Chief of the Investigative Police, submitted to the court their justified reports in which they reported that they do not have an arrest warrant against Rodríguez.
Once these documents were collected, and since there was no act of authority by which he should be protected, the court of amparo denied the footballer the definitive suspension.
Last May, prior to the start of the Copa América, Rodríguez and two other men were reported by a woman to the capital’s prosecutor’s office for aggravated rape and breach of trust.
On his social media, the member of the Uruguayan national team also denied the accusation.
The ruling of the Amparo Court does not mean that an arrest warrant cannot be issued later, although in order to exercise criminal action the Prosecutor’s Office must first conclude that the complaint contains sufficient evidence.
