A federal judge in Mexico halted the extradition to the United States of Jaime Gonzalez Duran, alias "El Hummer", founder and a leader of operations of the criminal group Los Zetas, to grant him a permanent indictment suspension, in order for him to file an appeal, as requested by the defense.

This comes despite the fact that the Mexican Foreign Ministry had already agreed to send to the US where he is sought on charges of drug trafficking.

In March 2015, Gonzalez Duran was sentenced by a judge in Tamaulipas to a sentence of 35 years in prison finding him responsible for the kidnapping and killing of four members of the Mexican Federal Investigation Agency, which operated in the state of Nuevo Leon.
