A federal judge has halted, for the time being, the extradition of Oscar Omar Treviño Morales, alias Z-42 considered a former leader of Los Zetas, to the United States.
According to El Universal, the defense of the former criminal leader filed an injunction against the extradition at the end of June before the head of the Fourth District Court for Criminal Matters, María del Carmen Sánchez Cisneros.
The judge granted an ex officio and outright suspension because "the extradition and departure of the plaintiff from the country is imminent.
Treviño Morales is wanted by the District Court of Columbia, in the United States, for drug trafficking.
Z-42 was arrested in March 2015 in San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León, and is currently imprisoned in the Federal Center for Social Readaptation Number 12 "CPS-Guanajuato".
The former leader of Los Zetas is accused by federal authorities of the massacre of migrants in San Fernando, Tamaulipas, as well as the burning of the Casino Royale in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, among other acts of violence.
