Sheinbaum Asks Federal Auditor to Review Reports Linking Chihuahua Governor to Company That Won State Contracts

A federal audit would check whether the governor declared a stake in the firm named by press reports and could lead to administrative or criminal review.

Overview

  • President Claudia Sheinbaum asked the Auditoría Superior de la Federación (ASF) on June 30 to review press reports that a real-estate company tied to Governor Maru Campos received contracts from the Chihuahua government.
  • Investigative reports cited by multiple outlets say Campos holds about 98% of the company and link it to a large residence called 'La Mansión Dorada' in Bosques de San Francisco.
  • Sheinbaum said the ASF should verify whether Campos declared her participation in the company in required patrimonial (asset) statements and whether any contracts created a conflict of interest.
  • No public ASF audit results or formal complaints to the Fiscalía General de la República (FGR) have been announced yet, and Sheinbaum did not present evidence or state that an investigation is already open.
  • Local political figures have pressed Campos for answers and the next steps to watch are an ASF administrative review of contracts and declarations or a formal FGR complaint that would trigger a criminal probe.
