A federal court refused to send the amparo filed by Mario Aburto’s defense to the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN), which would review his 45-year prison sentence for the murder of Luis Donaldo Colosio, candidate for the presidency of the republic in 1994.
The magistrate Jorge Arturo Sánchez Jiménez, a member of the First Collegiate Court in Criminal Matters of the State of Mexico, was the one who determined that the amparo filed by the defense of Aburto Martínez did not proceed, arguing that it is not the responsibility of the SCJN to analyze the case, there are no constitutional issues in it.
Therefore, it was determined that said court will analyze Mario Aburto’s protection, after alleging that he suffered torture to force him to plead guilty to the murder of the PRI candidate.
“This Collegiate Court is legally competent to hear and resolve the direct amparo that is being addressed, it is not appreciated that general norms have been challenged because they are considered unconstitutional, nor was the direct interpretation of a constitutional precept made,” says the notification.
It should be noted that, at the end of November last year, the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) determined that Mario Aburto was tortured during his detention in 1994.
By disclosing the results of its report on the complaint file CNDH / 6/2021/1261 / VG, the Commission was able to prove that Mario Aburto “was tortured since his arrest on March 23, 1994, as well as some members of the his family, he repeatedly until recent years ”.
Likewise, it was highlighted that such illegal acts were aware of it, “as well as those responsible for the official investigation and the National Commission itself, however, they minimized and even disavowed it. All in order to support the official version of the lone murderer ”.
After the determination of the First Collegiate Court, it is expected that in the coming months it will be analyzed whether to revoke, modify or confirm the 45-year sentence that was imposed in 2005 on Mario Aburto, a prisoner at the Federal Center for Social Readaptation 12 in Guanajuato.
