Official reasons
- As Head of the Judicial Support Directorate, Luis Alberto Perez Olivas is in charge of El Chipote prison. This detention centre has been identified as a place where serious human rights violations occurred and detainees were physically and psychologically tortured during the time Perez Olivas held that role.
