Mexican boxer Julio César Chávez Jr. was released from prison over the weekend after a hearing in which the judge overseeing his case ruled he could await trial outside of custody.
According to his attorney, Rubén Benítez Álvarez, Chávez, the son of legendary champion Julio César Chávez, is facing charges of organized crime for allegedly taking part, without leadership, administration, or direction, in the clandestine trafficking of firearms into Mexico.
