Overview
- Gertz Manero’s patrimonial declaration was posted to the Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores’ Declaranet platform on Friday, June 26, and lists 13 real estate holdings, seven vehicles, high‑value jewelry and bank accounts abroad.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum publicly backed the ambassador, saying he made the information public and explained the origin of the assets as family inheritances and purchases from his professional life.
- The declaration itemizes a jewelry collection valued at about $1 million, artwork near $450,000, two Rolls‑Royce among seven vehicles and bank accounts in Spain, Switzerland and the United States.
- Media coverage and public commentators have questioned the scale and provenance of the assets, but the coverage provided shows no confirmed prosecutorial or administrative investigation so far.
- The case highlights a change in rules that required Gertz Manero to disclose assets on entering the Servicio Exterior and is likely to fuel wider debate about transparency rules and oversight for senior officials.
