It was ruled on Thursday that Alberto El Patron will remain in preventive detention after being accused of physically and verbally assaulting his partner.

Milenio reports, “A control judge determined to keep the former athlete behind bars after the State General Prosecutor’s Office (FGE) formally charged him with the crime of family violence.”

On April 6, Alberto El Patron (Alberto Del Rio in WWE) was arrested on an alleged domestic violence charge.

In May 2020 he was arrested for allegedly battering and sexually assaulting his girlfriend. He was charged with one count of sexual assault and one count of assault causing bodily harm and later indicted by a grand jury and formally charged with aggravated kidnapping and sexual assault, but the chargers were dropped in 2021.
