Supreme Court Takes Over High-Profile Acid Attack Case in Oaxaca

Mexico's Supreme Court (SCJN) has taken over the case of Juan Antonio Vera Carrizal, the alleged mastermind behind the 2019 acid attack on saxophonist María Elena Ríos. This decision temporarily halts the judicial process in Oaxaca, allowing the High Court to rule on defense appeals.


La decisión detiene provisionalmente el proceso judicial en Oaxaca y abre la posibilidad de que la Corte determine el destino de las impugnaciones de la defensa del autor intelectual del ataque con ácido contra la saxofonista en 2019
