# Legal dispute over Julián Figueroa's death and child custody > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/legal-dispute-over-julin-figueroas-death > Updated: 2026-10-03T22:18:59.000Z. Sources: 27. Developments: 5. Legal proceedings have been initiated by Maribel Guardia against Imelda Garza Tuñón following Tuñón’s public admissions regarding the administration of controlled medications to the late Julián Figueroa. During an appearance on the podcast ‘Mesa Cero’, Tuñón admitted to obtaining controlled substances by misrepresenting symptoms to a psychiatrist, subsequently providing these medications to Figueroa to alleviate anxiety because his own doctors would not authorize them. Attorney Alonso Becerra (also referred to as Alonso Beceiro) characterized these statements as “incriminatory” and “unfortunate,” announcing plans to investigate illegal trafficking and potential responsibility for Figueroa’s death. Following these developments, Guardia officially filed a criminal complaint with the Attorney General's Office of Mexico City, alleging crimes against health and homicide. The legal team asserts that Tuñón provided substances while knowing they could cause severe health issues or death, and claims to hold evidence including testimonies, communication records, and audiovisual material. The investigation seeks to determine if Tuñón’s failure to seek timely medical assistance constitutes criminal negligence. A significant investigative challenge remains: an autopsy cannot be performed because Figueroa’s remains were cremated. The conflict has intensified with a new complaint filed by Guardia’s legal team alleging the abandonment of the minor, José Julián. This follows Tuñón’s travel to the United States with the child, after which she reportedly returned to Mexico alone, leaving the boy’s exact location and caregiver unknown. While Tuñón asserts the child is safe and attending school, she has refused to disclose his whereabouts. In response to the abandonment lawsuit, Tuñón has obtained a restraining order prohibiting Guardia from approaching the minor or speaking publicly about him for three months. This order also extends to Guardia’s husband, Marco Chacón, and her attorney, Alonso Beceiro. To comply with these restrictions, Guardia has reportedly avoided press interactions and arrived at musical performances in unmarked vehicles. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-03: Maribel Guardia faces restraining order in grandson custody dispute Actress Maribel Guardia is subject to a restraining order issued by her former daughter-in-law, Imelda Garza Tuñón, prohibiting her from approaching or speaking publicly about her grandson amid a custody battle 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/maribel-guardia-faces-restraining-order-in-grandson-custody-dispute ### 2026-10-01: Maribel Guardia files legal complaints against Imelda Tuñón Mexican actress Maribel Guardia has filed legal complaints against Imelda Tuñón for alleged child abandonment and involvement in the death of Julián Figueroa regarding controlled medication use. 10 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/maribel-guardia-files-criminal-complaint-against-imelda-garza-tun ### 2026-09-28: Maribel Guardia files homicide complaint against former daughter-in-law Maribel Guardia has filed criminal complaints against Imelda Garza Tuñón for alleged health crimes and potential homicide related to the 2023 death of Julián Figueroa. 14 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/maribel-guardia-files-homicide-complaint-against-former-daughter-in-law ### 2026-09-26: Maribel Guardia files criminal complaint against Imelda Tuñón Maribel Guardia has filed criminal charges against former daughter-in-law Imelda Tuñón, alleging homicide and illegal distribution of controlled substances related to the death of Julián Figueroa. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/maribel-guardia-files-criminal-complaint-against-imelda-tun ### 2026-09-24: Maribel Guardia's lawyer files criminal complaint against Imelda Garza Tuñón Maribel Guardia's lawyer is filing a criminal complaint against Imelda Garza Tuñón for alleged illegal trafficking of controlled substances following Tuñón's admission of misusing prescriptions. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/maribel-guardias-lawyer-files-criminal-complaint-against-imelda-garza-tun --- Cite as: Legal dispute over Julián Figueroa's death and child custody.
