Overview
- The Tribunal Federal de Justicia Administrativa imposed a one‑year inhabilitación on Jaime N., ex‑administrator of the Lázaro Cárdenas customs, after the Unidad de Combate a la Impunidad found he omitted 1,532,452 pesos from his patrimonial declaration.
- Jaime N. retains the legal right to impugn the TFJA decision and the Secretaría Anticorrupción y Buen Gobierno said it will defend the sanction if appealed.
- The Fiscalía General de la República executed an arrest order for Héctor N., a former SAT official, during an FEMCC criminal probe into alleged illicit enrichment that reportedly includes an unexplained property transfer tied to a contract never carried out.
- Authorities say the SAT filed the original complaint in November 2022, the FEMCC investigation remains open, and officials reminded the public that both subjects are presumed innocent until a court rules otherwise.
- These actions, coming after broader debates over customs reform and earlier SAT removals, signal stronger oversight of aduanas and could prompt further administrative sanctions and criminal investigations into unexplained increases in officials’ assets.
