The Superior Court of Appeals confirmed that the former director of the General Directorate of Income (DGI), must return to prison for violating the probation measure that was granted to him by a compliance judge.

During a hearing held on Tuesday, May 16, magistrates Adilio González, Luis Mario Carrasco, and María Vigil decided to accept the request of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office to revoke the measure of supervised detention and apply preventive detention.

The anti-corruption prosecutor, Anilu Batista, explained that it was found that Cucalón did not appear regularly at his workplace, which is why she asked to revoke his probation benefit.

On May 9, 2023, the compliance judge, Roberto Sánchez, of the Accusatory Criminal System of the First Judicial District revoked the probation measure granted to Cucalón, who is serving a 96-month prison sentence for the crimes of embezzlement, and corruption of public servants.

In September Cucalón must face a hearing for the alleged commission of the crime of money laundering.
