Overview
- The Instituto para Devolver al Pueblo lo Robado (INDEP) listed a rural plot inside Tapalpa Country Club for sealed bids with a base price of 12,939,520 pesos and set the receipt and opening of offers for Thursday, May 28.
- INDEP describes the lot as more than 13,000 square meters with title and possession, and says it was transferred to the institute by the Tesorería de la Federación after seizures coordinated with the Fiscalía General de la República.
- The auction is a 'sobre cerrado' process that requires a participation guarantee, accepts bids in person between 10:00 and 12:00 at INDEP headquarters, and will have the envelope opening streamed publicly on INDEP’s YouTube channel.
- Authorities do not officially name the parcel as belonging to Nemesio Oseguera 'El Mencho', but INDEP’s map places it in the same immediate area where the February 22 military operation located him and where OFAC had earlier flagged the development.
- The sale follows the federal practice of disposing seized properties to recover public funds, and it leaves buyers legally liable for notarial costs, local debts and any future use of the land while carrying symbolic and security implications given the violent CJNG reaction after the February operation.
