Despite the time that has passed, both on social networks and in the media, his case once again gained relevance after the possibility of extradition to Mexico was spread.
In USA, Víctor Manuel does not face criminal charges; His detention is due solely to immigration issues, since he does not have documentation that supports his legal stay in the country. This situation could be used by the Government of Mexico to request his arrest for extradition purposes.
After his arrest, Álvarez Puga was transferred to the Krome North SPC processing center, where the Customs and Border Protection (ICE) reported that it remains, although without direct and immediate relationship with the tax complaints opened in Mexico.
