Lesly Ochoa was one of the scholarship recipients selected to participate in the musical ‘Malinche, the show created and produced by Cano that recreates the story of the historical figure La Malinche. The project included a training program for young Mexican artists who moved to Spain to join the production.

After his expulsion, Ochoa denounced Cano for the alleged commission of crimes related to labor rights. In his complaint, He maintained that several of the Mexican participants had arrived in Spain as tourists while participating in activities linked to the musical, which in his opinion constituted an irregularity.

In April 2025, the Provincial Court of Madrid closed the case when the magistrates understood that the defendants did not try to introduce the Mexican citizens who arrived in Spain to perform the musical clandestinely, nor was there sufficient evidence of a crime. At the same time, Cano’s entourage filed a complaint against Ochoa for alleged threats and blackmail..
