Chihuahua government did not formally request the transfer of prisoners: Segob
The Ministry of the Interior (Segob) revealed that the authorities of Chihuahua did not formally request transfer of prisoners from Cereso 3 from Juarez City to a federal prison. The Segob explained that the state authority made a transfer request in an “economic way.”
“This transfer cannot be carried out in violation of the laws and agreements on the matter, so it can only and exclusively take place if the Chihuahua government authorities request it officially and in writing, disclosing the identity and procedural status of the inmates. “.
Therefore, it is concluded that Cereso 3 is under the legal provisions of the common jurisdiction of the state of Chihuahua. Among the inmates who escaped was Ernesto Alfredo Piñón, alias ‘El Neto’, leader of the criminal group “Los Mexicles”, imprisoned for the crime of kidnapping.
