As noted before, Mexican lucha wrestler El Hijo de Fishman was arrested this Wednesday for his involvement in the death of referee Gerardo German Pineda, also known as El Búho. Fishman had attacked Pineda during a match against Mascara Sagrada at event for El Patron Espectaculos in Mineral de la Reforma, Hidalgo, Mexico.
El Patron Espectaculos released a video on Friday on Facebook featuring their CEO Edgar Sandoval stating that Fishman was released from jail on October 8. Sandoval also stated that a reparatory agreement was reached with the family of Pineda.
El Patron Espectaculos and Sandoval also stated that another press conference will be held soon to address the matter further.
In the video, a representative of the law firm Magallán, Reyes y Asociados issued a statement:
“To be precise, I would just like to emphasize that through the efforts of the firm, with the staff that makes up our team, a reparatory agreement was reached under which Mr. Hijo de Fishman is now free, through this reparatory agreement and compensation for damages.
Due to these unfortunate events, in which, in a certain way, there was no situation that warranted going further in a legal process, we concluded. And so, his release was secured today.”
Lucha Blog reported that the reason for Fishman’s release from jail was due to police had 48 hours to get a judge to approve the charges against him under Mexican law and were unable to do so in time.
