TLDR

  • A hearing is scheduled to determine if Juan Jesús “N” will be prosecuted for the femicide of Edith Guadalupe Valdés Zaldívar.
  • The prosecution presented evidence including the disconnection of surveillance cameras and the discovery of bloodstains.
  • The defense claims the accused is innocent, presenting video evidence, while the prosecution has also opened an investigation into human trafficking related to the building where the body was found.

The capital's Fiscalía General de Justicia (FGJ) is poised to present its case to determine if Juan Jesús “N” will face trial for the femicide of Edith Guadalupe Valdés Zaldívar. As reported by El Universal, the prosecution has compiled a significant body of evidence, including the deliberate disconnection of surveillance cameras on four occasions and the discovery of bloodstains in a hidden compartment within the security booth. Fiscal capitalina Bertha Alcalde emphasized that this is not merely circumstantial evidence but a comprehensive set of proof indicating probable involvement. The defense, however, maintains Juan Jesús's innocence, presenting video footage from an elevator camera that they claim implicates another individual. The FGJ has stated that the person in the video was not present when Edith entered the building. Adding another layer to this complex case, the FGJ has also launched a human trafficking investigation concerning the building where Edith's body was found, signaling a broader inquiry into potential criminal activities. This multifaceted investigation underscores the gravity of the situation and the commitment to uncovering the full truth.

It is not just one piece of data, but a set of evidence that allowed us to present his probable participation to the judge.
