This modification was generated after in November of last year, the Control Judge of the Federal Criminal Justice Center in the North Prison, José Rivas González, modified the precautionary measure imposed on the former attorney.
Murillo faces a first trial for the crimes of forced disappearance, administration of justice and torture, all related to the case of the 43 Ayotzinapa normalistas.
Following the decision made in the Collegiate Court session, Karam will be able to return home without any inconvenience to continue with his process.
The decision was made by the majority of the members of the First Collegiate Court, coinciding that article 166 of the National Code of Criminal Procedures (CNPP) marks an exception so that preventive detention can be carried out by the person involved from his home or, where appropriate, in medical centers under necessary protection, if the accused is 70 years old or older.
Therefore, the Court indicated that Murillo Karam is 75 years old and suffers from a serious illness, which is why it was determined to advance the effects of his imposed protection, since the former attorney will continue serving his imprisonment.

The magistrates asserted that the change in the measure “does not imply his freedom” since he will continue to comply with his process.
