The official did not specify the charges against S\u00e1nchez Ortega, who is being held in a maximum-security prison in central Mexico, awaiting trial.<\/p>\n<p>According to the National Registry of Detentions, the arrest took place on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Colosio, the 1994 presidential candidate for the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), was shot twice during a rally in the northern Mexican city of Tijuana. Since 2024, federal prosecutors have been seeking to prosecute an intelligence agent assigned as his bodyguard, identified only as Jorge Antonio &#8220;S,&#8221; as the alleged perpetrator of the second shooting.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/11\/11\/6236e1c6-4720-48cc-86bc-10f10f439bb7\/thumbnail\/620x424\/490085c4b6bb9905ebc2079e61714e29\/gettyimages-2009444397.jpg#\" alt=\"MEXICO-COLOSIO-ARCHIVE \" height=\"424\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/11\/11\/6236e1c6-4720-48cc-86bc-10f10f439bb7\/thumbnail\/620x424\/490085c4b6bb9905ebc2079e61714e29\/gettyimages-2009444397.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/11\/11\/6236e1c6-4720-48cc-86bc-10f10f439bb7\/thumbnail\/1240x848\/f9863817ec311f3ff98f46236e993050\/gettyimages-2009444397.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">This file photo dated Nov. 28, 1993 shows Mexico&#8217;s ruling party presidential candidate Luis Donaldo Colosio in Mexico City.
