Natanael Cano cleared in US car theft case due to insufficient evidence

Mexican artist Natanael Cano has been cleared of charges related to the alleged theft of a car in the United States. A judge decided not to proceed with a trial, citing a lack of sufficient evidence to connect the singer to the crime.

The case involved a white 2015 Corvette reported stolen in Phoenix, Arizona, which was later found in Sonora, Mexico. Authorities noted that the license plates on the vehicle were linked to a Porsche owned by Cano. Rumors suggested the Corvette was being driven by a friend of the artist.

During a recent hearing in Sonora, prosecutors presented their evidence. However, the judge concluded that there was no proof to establish Cano's possession of the stolen vehicle. The ruling stated, "There is no evidence that allows us to prove the possession of this vehicle reported as stolen by the defendant. A decision of non-prosecution is issued for Mr. Natanael Rubén Cano Monge."

This is not the first time Cano has encountered legal trouble. In March 2024, he was detained in Hermosillo for speeding and later accused of attempting to bribe officers. He has also faced criticism and fines for the content of his songs, with the Chihuahua City Council imposing a significant fine for corridos that allegedly promote crime and violence.
