Overview
- Federal security forces detained Luis Antonio Espinosa Campos in Mexico City on Monday and charged him with peculado, a crime for the misappropriation of public funds.
- Investigative group MCCI reported that Mayavisión, a TV company Espinosa Campos founded, received about 97 million pesos in state payments during Alito Moreno’s governorship and that investigators trace roughly 36 million pesos in suspicious transfers linked to him between 2020 and 2024.
- Tax authority records and corporate filings show Espinosa Campos acted as legal representative, shareholder, or service provider for multiple firms tied to Emigdio Gabriel Moreno Cárdenas, the senator’s brother.
- Campeche’s Fiscalía has opened inquiries to determine whether billed services were simulated and plans to have Espinosa Campos transferred to that state to face the judicial process.
- The case adds legal and reputational pressure to the Moreno family because it centers on contracts from Alito Moreno’s administration and relies on procurement, SAT and corporate records to trace the flow of public money.
