Alberto Del Rio Facing Up To 20 Years In Prison

Alberto Del Rio could be facing significant prison time as new details emerge surrounding the case against him in Mexico.

Prosecutors in San Luis Potosí are reportedly considering charges that carry a potential sentence of up to 20 years in prison following Alberto Del Rio’s recent arrest. While the investigation remains ongoing, the severity of the possible charges has now come into clearer focus.

According to reports from Milenio, authorities could pursue one of two charges under the state’s criminal code. The lesser charge, violencia familiar, carries a potential sentence of between one and seven years in prison, along with a financial penalty.

However, a more serious charge, lesiones cometidas contra la mujer en razón de su género, could be applied in cases involving severe or degrading injuries, or where there is an alleged pattern of violence. That offence carries a potential sentence ranging from eight to 20 years in prison, significantly increasing the stakes of the case.

Reports indicate that this more severe charge may be considered depending on the outcome of the ongoing investigation and the evidence gathered by prosecutors.

The case stems from an alleged incident on April 6, 2026, involving Alberto Del Rio and his wife, Mary Carmen Rodríguez Lucero. Authorities responded to a reported emergency call and later detained Del Rio, with the case now being handled by the Fiscalía General del Estado de San Luis Potosí.

Infobae México has reported that Rodríguez Lucero is currently under medical and legal protection as the investigation continues. The case remains active, and no charges have been formally confirmed at this stage. Del Rio has not been convicted of any offence.
