Mexico City prosecutors fail to notify Vadhir Derbez at six addresses

Mexico City prosecutors have been unable to notify actor Vadhir Derbez about a court summons in a sexual assault investigation.

The case concerns an alleged incident in April in Coyoacán, during the filming of a music video.

Prosecutors say they made seven attempts at six addresses, including addresses linked to Derbez, his brother José Eduardo, and his lawyer, but no one accepted the notices.

The investigation remains open, and prosecutors say they have enough evidence to bring the case before a judge.

A court suspension has put an arrest warrant on hold, but it does not decide whether the allegation is true or end the investigation.

The suspension prevents Derbez from being sent to prison before appearing before a judge.

A hearing date cannot be set until he is formally notified, and the suspension could be revoked if he then fails to appear without a valid reason.
