Former WWE champion Alberto del Río, also widely known as El Patrón, will remain in pretrial detention in San Luis Potosí after a control Judge upheld the formal charge of family violence filed by the State Attorney General’s Office. The luchador was arrested on April 6, 2026, following allegations that he physically assaulted his partner, causing visible injuries. His legal team requested an extension of the constitutional 72-hour period and a release during the proceedings, but the Judge denied both motions. According to milenio.com, an arraignment hearing is now scheduled for Saturday, April 11, at which time authorities will then decide whether he will face trial while in custody or on bail.
“The accused invoked the constitutional term of 72 hours to define his legal situation and requested to carry out the process while free, but the judge denied the request. The arraignment hearing will resume on Saturday, April 11, when it will be decided whether Alberto del Río will face trial in prison or at liberty. For now, El Patrón will remain in pretrial detention.” – Milenio.com
Mexico’s family violence laws, known as violencia familiar, create a robust federal and state framework that criminalizes any act or omission intended to dominate, control, or harm intimate partners or family members. These laws cover physical, psychological, sexual, economic, and patrimonial abuse, applying to current or former relationships regardless of cohabitation. Under the Federal Criminal Code and the General Law on Women’s Access to a Life Free of Violence, penalties range from several months to several years in prison, with possible increases for vulnerable victims. The system prioritizes immediate protection orders, victim support services, offender rehabilitation, and prevention, while prohibiting mediation between parties and emphasizing constitutional rights.
