In May 2018, El Mencho's wife was arrested in the municipality of Zapopan, Jalisco, but was conditionally released after paying a guarantee of more than one million pesos.

In November 2021, Rosalinda was arrested for the second time, in compliance with an arrest warrant for the crime of operations with resources of illicit origin.

A federal judge decided not to sentence the detainee to criminal proceedings for the crime of organized crime, and the Attorney General's Office (FGR) filed an appeal against the decision.
