read backstory of his ordered release here
After a federal court judge ordered the release of Rubén Oseguera González, “El Menchito”, he was picked up via a Blackhawk helicopter at the federal prison Altiplano No. 1, and transferred to SEIDO (Special investigations of Organized Crime) arriving at 4:30 pm.
Shadowing the Blackhawk was a second helicopter carrying artillery and snipers.
“El Menchito" will be made available to the Special Unit on Kidnapping of SEIDO to testify about the disappearance of two people in Michoacán.
The Attorney General's Office has now detained the son of the premier leader of CJNG or the fourth time, on a new indictment for the crime of disappearance.
Please note that while some media report this is the 4th arrest, others report it is the 3rd.
PGR is appealing the federal court’s order of release.
One of the points made by the court was that Menchito is an American citizen and as such was denied access to the consul of the United States. However, PGR rejects that, saying consul was with Menchito’s attorney after the arrest. PGR’s appeal also rejects most of the other key points made by the federal court, but noticeably absent was a mention of a warrant. The lack of a warrant is the major point of contention by the court.
