The Attorney General’s Office (FGR) has challenged the probation of Julio César Chávez Junior. The boxer, which was extradited on August 18 from the United States, is accused of organized crime and arms trafficking. Last week, a control judge from Sonora decided to link him to the process, but also allowed him to follow the judgment in freedom, with the condition that he did not leave the country. Thus, on Sunday, Chávez left the federal prison of Hermosillo. Now, the FGR seeks to return to fulfill its judicial process from jail.
The case of Chávez Junior has been a media hotbed. Son of one of the legends of Mexican boxing, Julio César Chávez, the 38 -year -old man, was arrested in early July in California for the ICE, the American immigration agency. What seemed at the beginning a case of irregularities in the documents ended with the extradition of the fighter to his country where origin, where the FGR had open a case against him for his links with the Sinaloa cartel for six years. In 2023, the investigation resulted in an arrest warrant that never completed. Nothing had come to light until this summer was arrested on the other side of the border.
The boxer led a normal life, between Mexico and the United States, until this July 3. He was arrested after a fight in Los Angeles. He had already gone three nights to the dungeon last year due to illegal possession of weapons, but then they released him. This time the whole process began to fulfill its slopes of justice in Mexico. Here, the FGR accuses him of being linked to the Chapitos, of commissioning for his faction of the Sinaloa cartel, following several filtered conversations.
His relationship with the children of Chapo is not just business. Chávez Junior married Frida Muñoz, with whom she has two children. Frida had been the wife of Édgar Guzmán, the son of the Chapo who was killed in 2008 in a rival band shooting, and also had a daughter with him, named Frida Muñoz, who has also been raised by the athlete. In an online retransmission, the boxer came to say of Ovid Guzmán, the mouse, today in the US: “She is my daughter’s uncle, who has been my daughter for a long time. I know him well and she is a good person.”
After having been in prison in the United States a month, since he arrived in Mexican territory, Chávez Junior was held in Federal 11th prison, in Hermosillo. On August 24, a control judge, Enrique Hernández, ruled that he could continue his judicial process in freedom. That is the decision that has now been appealed by the FGR. The appeal has been submitted by the Prosecutor’s Office specialized in organized crime and will be a collegiate court that decides.
