A group dubbed "the champion's gang" stole 200 pairs of shoes, but were initially released by Judge Diego González. The judge based his decision on concerns that prosecution evidence relied on self-incriminating statements. Despite the large-scale theft, the initial ruling allowed the suspects to remain free. However, this decision was subsequently overturned by a higher Tribunal, suggesting stronger legal grounds for continued detention. A female accomplice in the case received four pairs of shoes and a pair of flip-flops as part of the stolen goods. The reversal indicates a disagreement in legal interpretation regarding the admissibility of the evidence presented by the prosecution. The suspects will now likely face further legal proceedings.
