Overview
- A federal judge linked Alejandro Mario Álvarez Puga to a criminal process for alleged omission of 2016 income tax, ordered preventive detention and gave prosecutors a four-month period for a complementary investigation, a decision reported on Sunday.
- The Agencia de Investigación Criminal executed Alejandro’s arrest in Benito Juárez, Quintana Roo with support from the Navy and the FGR says the alleged damage to the federal treasury in his fiscal file is 4,618,798 pesos.
- The Fiscalía General de la República has stressed that Alejandro’s fiscal case is legally separate from extradition procedures for his brother and sister‑in‑law and has reiterated the presumption of innocence until conviction.
- Víctor Manuel Álvarez Puga remains under U.S. immigration proceedings after a September 2025 detention, was released on bond with a geolocation device and has a next hearing set for November 2026 while Mexico strengthens its formal extradition request.
- The FGR says it has presented a provisional arrest request for Inés Gómez Mont and is assembling the formal extradition dossiers sought by the U.S. Department of Justice in a wider probe into alleged ghost‑company schemes tied to roughly 3,000 million pesos.
