Sonora Tribunal Bans Ex-Cecop Official for 50 Years, Fines Him 134.9 Million Pesos

Prosecutors report asset seizures after tracing more than 106 million pesos in transfers linked to suspected diversion of public works funds.

Overview

  • The Tribunal de Justicia Administrativa ruled on January 20 against Juan Alán “N” after an anti-corruption investigation found serious administrative violations at Cecop.
  • The sanction bars him from public service for five decades and imposes a financial penalty of 134,895,183.18 pesos.
  • Authorities say accounts and real estate were secured as financial forensics tracked transfers from his accounts to those of his spouse between September 2023 and March 2025.
  • Prosecutors report Juan Alán remains a fugitive, while his wife, Andrea Fernanda “N”, is held at the Hermosillo women’s prison on charges of illicit enrichment and peculado.
  • Parallel probes into additional Cecop officials continue after audits initially flagged diversions above 67 million pesos, later estimated to exceed 106 million.
