These were the arguments that Ernesto Ruffo's defense presented to obtain house arrest for the former governor.

Ernesto Ruffo Appel, former governor of Baja California, has been granted house arrest, successfully overturning a previous decision for preventive detention. The legal shift was secured following arguments presented by his defense attorney, Arturo Germán Rangel, who detailed the specific justifications required to transition the former official from custody to home confinement.

This legal development marks a significant change in the status of the former governor's ongoing case. The defense team’s successful petition allows Ruffo Appel to remain under house arrest while the judicial process continues, moving away from the more restrictive measure of preventive imprisonment.
