Luis Cárdenas Palomino, former director of Regional Security for the now-defunct Federal Police, will remain in prison despite completing a five-year and three-month sentence for torture. He is not being released because he must continue facing ongoing legal proceedings related to the "Fast and Furious" ("Rápido y Furioso") case.
The prison stay stems from charges involving the torture of Mario Vallarta—brother of Israel Vallarta—along with his nephew and two other individuals. The continuation of his detention ensures that judicial processes tied to the high-profile arms-trafficking investigation remain active.
