Prosecutors Asked a Judge to Hold a Charging Hearing for Three Parties in the Querencia Los Cabos Case
On July 15, 2026, the state Public Prosecutor's Office (Ministerio Público) asked a pretrial judge (Juez de Control) in Los Cabos, Mexico, to hold a charging hearing in the Querencia Los Cabos case. The request names the driver and the club's doctor, both under investigation, and Querencia Construcciones, S. de R.L. de C.V., a Mexican limited-liability company form roughly comparable to a U.S. LLC. On July 16, 2026, the judge set the hearing for August 26, 2026. A request for a charging hearing is not a formal charge, and the hearing itself is not a trial.
