Noroña’s Cuba Donation Bounced as AMLO’s Aid Appeal Draws Scrutiny

A central bank record shows the 64,000‑peso transfer was returned, sharpening questions about the new group collecting donations.

Overview

  • The transfer, processed Tuesday at 13:26:40, was marked returned seconds later, the Banco de México payment record Proceso reviewed shows.
  • Senator Gerardo Fernández Noroña said he sent 64,000 pesos after Andrés Manuel López Obrador urged deposits to Banorte account 1358451779 to buy food, medicine and fuel for Cuba, a call his son José Ramón amplified on X.
  • A CEP is Banco de México’s electronic receipt that confirms a SPEI bank transfer settled, and the system did not issue one here because the payment showed a returned status.
  • Humanidad con América Latina A.C., the recipient association formed in early March, obtained authorization to receive deductible donations unusually fast, and Mexico’s tax authority has publicly distanced itself from the group.
  • No bank has stated why the transfer was rejected, and reporters note that payments tied to Cuba often face international banking rules that can trigger returns, keeping donors uncertain about whether funds will land as intended.
