The attorney Capital reported that she was detained at a restaurant in Calzada de Tlalpan, after an anonymous complaint, although this version was denied by her legal defense who said she was given “a strictly personal decision of the teacher and her Family “, after negotiating with the Ministry of the capital city and with a local deputy.
What are you accused of? 
Mónica García Villegas is accused of manslaughter after the collapse of the plant structure, which resulted in the deaths of 26 people, seven adults and 19 children.
He also had an arrest warrant for irregularities in the construction permits at the school.
On September 28, Claudia Sheinbaum filed a criminal complaint against Alejandro Zepeda Rodríguez and Miguel Ángel Guerrero López, former general director of legal and government in Tlalpan in previous administrations, as well as against the head of the school Enrique Rébsamen, Mónica García Villegas, and “against whoever is responsible”.
In September 2017, García Villegas obtained a cover for not being detained, and in December, the then procurator General of the Republic reported that Interpol had issued a red card to locate it, after having made a search in a house of Coyoacan, without success.
Damage to the plant was not caused only by the earthquake, according to the authorities, the collapse exposed irregularities in the construction, permits and verification of the security of the building.
According to a study prepared by the Civil Association Zero impunity There are several responsible: the Tlalpan delegation, the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing (SEDUVI), the Secretariat of Public Education (SEP), the directors of work, the owner of the Escuela, Mónica García Villegas, and the Sociedades Enrique R S.C. and Enrique Rébsamen Secondary School.

What were the irregularities?
The building was built in 1983, so it did not conform to the provisions of the regulations of constructions created two years after the earthquake of 1985, in addition to that in 2009 was added a fourth floor, which totaled 225 tons, without having reinforced the design Structural.
With the removal of rubble from the school, more physical evidence was found that the construction was badly made, as a collapsed column because it did not stand the weight, or slabs that far surpass the 40 centimeters thick that should have at most for a Building like that.
Under the management of Claudia Sheinbaum, the delegation decided not to disseminate information about the school for four months, relying in a court order. The delegate Transparency Committee, in extraordinary session on 27 October 2017, reserved the information.
However, the notification only required the reservation of personal data and there was no express prohibition that prevented the generation of public versions.

Verified 2018 corroborated that the school presented a certificate of use of false soil to operate on the premises and lacked civil protection programs, as the delegation initially pointed out, but then found those of 2016 and 2017, which corresponded to the management of Claudia Sheinbaum. The Government of Mexico City knew of these irregularities, but did not shut down its facilities.
The Rébsamen school file did not include internal Civil protection programs, although they must be renewed each year.
Instead, there was a prevention office on 31 July 2017, in which he was granted five working days to rectify the observations or the procedure would be rejected. But the procedure was not solved. The deadline for the resolution was won three months later, on 31 October, but the quake occurred earlier.
The school had to be shut down
Rancho Tamboro 19 had a certificate of use of false soil. Verified 2018 was able to corroborate that the constancy of use of soil presented in the file did not correspond to the school, but to a site located in the street railways of the Cold river, Block 16, Lot 13, Colonia the Rodeo, in the Iztacalco delegation, according to confirmed the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing (SEDUVI) by requesting information.
In January 2017, the Administrative Verification Institute (INVEA) found that the school had issued a false certificate of land use accreditation for acquired rights. In the doubt, the INVEA collated with Seduvi the certificate of Accreditation of land use for acquired rights of Rancho Tamboro 19 that the director gave, and found that it did not correspond to the venue where the school was.
The institution demanded a fine of 107,000 pesos and conjoined the school to stop operating as a school or to submit a valid certificate covering the use of land and surface used. However, the school’s director, Mónica García Villegas, appealed the resolution and the school remained open.
The decentralized prosecutor’s office in investigation into environmental crimes and urban protection of the attorney General of Mexico City initiated in February 2017 an investigation against García Villegas for the crime of counterfeiting and use Document misuse, under research portfolio CI/FEDAPUR/A/UI-2 C/D/00111/02-2017.
A few months later, on September 27, 2017, Garcia Villegas filed a demand for amparo with which he managed to suspend any arrest warrant and freeze the information that the authorities could provide on it. It was this reason why both the Tlalpan delegation and the INVEA were based to reserve the information.
The last public certificate of land use determines that the only use of permitted land is housing, with a maximum of three levels of construction. In 2015 and 2016, the school built an extension of the building that collapsed, according to some parents of victims. However, there is no record of a construction manifestation. In this case, it is also possible that the work was carried out clandestinely, without notifying the delegation.
“I never built a fourth level in the Rébsamen”
The director of Colegio Rébsamen denied that he has built a fourth level on campus, a work that is attributed to the collapse and said that the PGJCDMX, has lied to the media and the judges because never built another level.
“I never built a fourth floor, and I count on the two construction licenses of both buildings that were extended in 1983. I’ve been living there since 1984. ”
Garcia Villegas explained that what was done was a remodeling of wood for a sundeck.
“It was a wood remodeling for a sundeck, which ended in an administrative procedure that resulted in a fine that was paid in 2014. It was a remodel, the department already existed, Documéntense and verify, “he said in an interview for Grupo Imagen.
