Legal update ·
Definitive suspension: an important judicial safeguard for Ernesto Ruffo
In its November 1 communiqué 770/26, the FGR acknowledges that Ernesto Ruffo was granted a definitive suspension on October 29. Once the intermediate stage concludes, the criminal proceedings cannot advance into oral trial until the amparo is resolved. This is a formal judicial protection, not a dismissal of the case.
Why this matters
The protection prevents advancement into oral trial while the constitutional challenge to the proceedings is decided. The FGR’s stated intention to continue investigating does not remove that restriction. This is a significant procedural safeguard, but it does not establish that the court rejected the evidence or predict the outcome of the amparo.
What remains pending
The FGR says the investigation continues and Ernesto remains linked to proceedings. The stay is not an acquittal, a final grant of amparo or unrestricted release. It does not freeze the entire intermediate stage. Its duration is tied to the amparo decision, not a fixed number of days. ZETA’s October 31 report says home detention continues.
Sources reviewed November 1, 2026: the family-supplied copy of FGR communiqué 770/26, hosted here, and ZETA’s October 31 report, which credits El Universal and identifies amparo 1085/2026. The communiqué is the prosecution’s statement, not the court order. The underlying court order has not been directly reviewed.
