translated from Spanish: They deny protection to businessman Kamel Nacif against apprehension order

A federal court denied an amparo of businessman Kamel Nacif to leave the apprehension order against him for his likely involvement in the torture crime against journalist Cacho. 
In December 2020, a judge issued a new arrest warrant against Kamel Nacif, who is fugitive, and Puebla’s former governor Mario Marín, who was arrested last February and faces a process.
Both Nacif, known as “the king of denim,” and Marín are accused of arbitrarily detaining and torturing Lydia Cacho in December 2005.

“The federal magistrate denied the protection of the individual as it is not noticeed, until this procedural stage, that his fundamental rights have been violated,” the Federal Judiciary Council reported in a statement regarding the employer’s request. 
In 2005, the journalist published the book The demons of Eden, the power that protects child pornography, in which he laid bare the protection Mario Marín received from politicians and businessmen, such as Jean Succar Kuri.
Months after its publication, on December 16, Cacho was arrested in Cancun, Quintana Roo, for elements of the Puebla Judicial Police, charged with the crimes of defamation and slander. The journalist acknowledged that during her detention and transfer from Cancun to a prison in Puebla she was a victim by the authorities.
On February 14, 2006, telephone recordings were released between the then governor Mario Marín and the businessman Kamel Nacif, nicknamed “The King of the Denim”, in which Marín stated that “he had already put a “coscorrón pinchi” to Cacho because the law is respected in Puebla”.
In view of this, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) initiated the investigation of the case for the crime of torture.
