Vadhir Derbez gets new court order blocking his arrest in rape case
A judge granted Vadhir Derbez a new suspension that blocks attempts to detain him.
The Mexican actor, son of comedian Eugenio Derbez, is accused of rape in Mexico City.
In June, another judge granted him protection that left an arrest warrant issued on April 24 without effect.
The latest judge ordered Mexico City prosecutors to refrain from actions including his arrest and declared the case should be handled by the judge who dealt with his earlier appeal.
The new ruling keeps him from being detained while the legal proceedings continue.
The earlier judge is to review the linked case, but the ruling does not resolve the rape accusation.
A federal judge granted Vadhir Derbez a new suspension that bars Mexico City authorities from carrying out certain acts against him, including his arrest.
Derbez is accused of rape, and an arrest warrant remains at issue in the case.
The ruling followed an application he filed on October 28 with the Fourteenth District Court for Criminal Matters.
The court said the case should be handled by the Eleventh District Court, which had previously considered a related appeal.
This is the second legal protection Derbez has obtained against detention in the case.
