translated from Spanish: They rule out suspending the proceedings against Rosario Robles

Mexico City.- A federal court ruled that the Rosario Robles trial will not be suspended for alleged damage to the public finances for more than 5 billion pesos, being allegedly omissive to the diversions of its subordinates in the so-called Master Scam.El Ninth Collegiate Criminal Court denied the former sedatu owner and the defunct Sedesol the final suspension against the linkage to the trial handed down on 13 August for the crime of improper exercise of public service. The former civil servant requested the suspension for the effect that the eventual issuance of an oral trial agreement, a stage which at the moment seems distant in the proceedings to which it is subject, was prohibited. According to the arguments he put before the court, freezing the decision to be brought to trial would not cause prejudice to the social interest or contravene provisions of public policy.
However, unanimously, the court magistrates upheld the refusal to stay handed down at first instance by the federal judge Patricio Leopoldo Vargas Alarcón and declared their claim for guarantees without subject matter. From the day of her attachment to the process, dictated by the control judge Felipe de Jesús Delgadillo Padierna, Robles is subject to justified pre-trial detention in the Femenil Penal of Santa Martha Acatitla.Although the decision to imprison her was taken by Delgadillo at the same hearing in which she determined to prosecute, the former civil servant filed two challenges against the judge’s decision.
On the one hand, he appealed pre-trial detention before a unitary court and on the other he filed an anti-trial protection, which he asked to suspend without doing so. This morning, Robles and his defense appeared before Judge Isabel Porras Odriozola, at a hearing for the clarification of grievances at the Penal Justice Center of the Reclusorio Norte, to present to her the arguments for which she must be granted freedom Provisional. The holder of the Third Criminal Unitary Court will decide by next Tuesday whether or not the former Secretary of State continues her in prison proceedings.
