Sheinbaum demands that the Court rule against Grupo Salinas for unpaid taxes

Court Decision

By unanimous decision, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation refused to exercise its power of appeal to review the direct protection promoted by Rodolfo Márquez, known as Fofo Márquez. The influencer sought to annul the sentence of 17 years and six months in prison for attempted femicide, after attacking Edith “N” in February 2024.

The Second Collegiate Court in criminal matters of the Second Circuit had asked the Supreme Court to bring the case to define criteria on when a violent attack against a woman constitutes attempted feminicide. However, the majority of ministers voted against it.

“Mr. Minister President: consequently, the power of attraction is not exercised in application 622/2026,” reported the general secretary of agreements during the session.

Background of the case

On February 22, 2024, Fofo Márquez attacked Edith “N” in the parking lot of a shopping plaza in Naucalpan. On January 24, 2025, he was found guilty of the crime of attempted femicide, and five days later he received a sentence of 17 years and six months in prison, in addition to a fine of more than 277 thousand pesos.

With this decision, the SCJN confirms that the case will be resolved in lower instances, without the highest court establishing a general criterion on attempted feminicide in attacks against women.

The Attorney General’s Office (FGR) carried out a search of a property of almost 30 thousand square meters in Soledad de Graciano Sánchez, San Luis Potosí. What began as an investigation into the theft of a shipment of tires ended with the discovery of thousands of tires, dozens of vehicles, heavy machinery and wildlife, including African lions, a Bengal tiger and a jaguar.

Details of the operation

Three people—Alfredo “N”, Ernesto “N” and José “N”—were linked to proceedings for possession of stolen vehicles, stolen merchandise and criminal association. The federal judge ordered preventive detention while investigations continue.

The operation arose after a complaint from a transportation company that reported the theft of a shipment of tires transported in a tractor-trailer. With judicial authorization, agents from the Criminal Investigation Agency, along with elements from the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection, Secretariat of National Defense, National Guard and State Civil Guard, entered the property.

Findings on the property

• Two thousand 781 tires
• 17 trucks, 41 cars, 17 tractors
• Eight platforms, 11 motorcycles, nine dry boxes, three cranes, two pipes, a steamroller and a Razer-type vehicle
• Two containers and equipment to modify vehicle identification numbers
• 79 alphanumeric dice, two numerical dice and production plates

In addition, authorities found live wildlife: two African lions, a Bengal tiger, a jaguar and a coyote. Stuffed specimens were also located, including two bears, a Barbary goat and bear remains.

The property was under total security while the FGR continues the investigations. No clashes were reported during the operation.

The case of Luis Almanza

Karen Valeria Cano Vásquez, widow of dentist Luis Almanza Dauzon, demonstrated outside the Government Palace of Veracruz. She demanded that the State Attorney General’s Office advance the investigation into her husband’s death.

The protest occurred while Governor Rocío Nahle García offered a conference inside. The widow’s banner read: “7 months have passed and no justice has been done for the death of my husband Luis Almanza Dauzón.”

A hole without signs

In November of last year, Almanza was traveling by motorcycle on the Coatepec-Xalapa highway. He found a hole in the asphalt layer without marking. The work was carried out by a company contracted by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Public Works.

The victim was going to buy a New Year’s gift for her son. The lack of signs caused discomfort among citizens.

Lack of fiscal action

The widow denounced that the Prosecutor’s Office has not given her the investigation file. Nor has he received testimonies nor have ministerial proceedings been carried out. The file accumulates delays.

Ministerial personnel have excused themselves, arguing lack of personnel and vacation periods. Seven months after the accident, there are no responsible parties.

Karen Valeria Cano Vásquez maintains her demand: justice and accountability for the omission that cost her husband his life.
