Livia Britto legal saga in Mexico

Entities: Livia Brito · Ernesto Zepeda · Quintana Roo · Mariano Martínez · Cancún

Overview

In July 2026, a Mexican federal judge denied actress Livia Britto's request for an amparo, leaving her subject to a criminal investigation for allegedly providing false statements about a 2020 incident in Cancún. The case stems from accusations by photographer Ernesto Zepeda that Britto and her then‑partner assaulted him and damaged equipment, prompting both civil and criminal actions.

Later that month, Britto paid the full civil judgment of 1.23 million pesos awarded to Zepeda, covering damages and injuries. The civil component of the dispute was resolved, but the criminal investigation into alleged false statements and the amparo denial remained open for Britto and her former partner Mariano Martínez.
