Collapse of Line 12
On May 3, 2021, a part of the elevated viaduct of Line 12 collapsed and left 26 people dead, 104 injured, thousands affected in terms of mobility and doubts about the construction of the work.
Enrique Horcasitas and nine other former officials who worked on the Metro Project are under investigation after being charged with homicide, culpable injury and property damage.
The families of the victims demand justice, that there be no impunity and that guarantees be given that such an event will not happen again.
So far, 10 former officials have been linked to the prosecution of the case.
