Nayarit Attorney General's Office Closes Case Against Businessman

The formal closure of the case, settled on January 19, 2026, establishes that the process concluded without charges, a conviction, or a criminal record for the investor. According to official documents issued by the State Attorney General's Office of Judicial Processes, Control Judge Xavier Alberto Rivas González ordered the definitive cancellation of arrest warrants 1069/2023 and 2518/2023. Expert reports and reviews concluded that no personal conduct by the businessman was proven that could constitute a crime. The closure of the case was formalized through a legal mechanism before the State Attorney's Office Alternative Solutions Unit. This judicial resolution led to a formal request to the General Attorney of the Republic (FGR) to nullify any international extradition proceedings related to criminal case 3154/2023. The authority's investigations were initially focused on the oversight of real estate, trusts, and corporate operations in the entity. The name of Valenzuela Cadena appeared in the investigations due to his status as a shareholder in various corporations that participated in these transactions. Although legal hypotheses such as criminal association, fraudulent administration, and operations with illicitly sourced funds were initially explored, none of these lines of investigation resulted in a formal charge. Sources close to the case specified that the agreement:•⁠ Had the sole purpose of providing legal certainty to the ownership and administration of the assets reviewed over the past few years.•⁠ Was of an institutional nature and allowed for the comprehensive conclusion of open reviews.•⁠ Did not, under any circumstances, imply a recognition of criminal responsibility or an admission of guilt by Valenzuela Cadena, his partners, or the involved companies. With the signing of this agreement and notification to federal authorities, the legal situation of Carlos Federico Valenzuela Cadena in the state of Nayarit is definitively resolved, confirming that there is no active criminal proceeding against him. The State Attorney General's Office of Nayarit has given a final closure to the investigations initiated between 2019 and 2023 that involved the Jalisco businessman Carlos Federico Valenzuela Cadena.
