On 23 June 2019, Maleck was involved in a deadly car accident in his hometown of Guadalajara. The crash claimed the lives of a newlywed couple. At the time, he was speeding and driving while intoxicated when his vehicle collided with the victims' car.[1]

On 23 October 2020, Maleck was convicted of two charges of aggravated homicide.[2] He received a sentence of three years and eight months in prison, along with a financial penalty.[3] However, local laws permit Maleck to be released from prison within fifteen days if he pays the fines.[4] On 15 December 2020, he was granted parole after serving less than half of his sentence.[5]

At the time, Maleck was on loan at Sevilla Atlético. The club parted ways with him just one week after the accident.[6] While in prison, Maleck agreed a contract extension with Santos Laguna. He was later registered with the club's U-20 team.[7]
