Supreme Court Upholds Freeze on Revocation Bid and State Audit Targeting Acapulco Mayor

The ruling leaves precautionary measures in force pending a decision on whether federal transfers must be reviewed solely by the national auditor.

Overview

  • The Supreme Court plenary unanimously rejected four appeals from Guerrero’s Congress and the state auditor, keeping prior suspensions intact.
  • The measures block a revocation-of-mandate effort and halt state audit steps tied to alleged irregularities in 898 million pesos of federal funds.
  • The protections were first granted in June 2025 by ministers Yasmín Esquivel Mossa and Javier Laynez Potisek in constitutional controversies 174/2025 and 176/2025.
  • In recurso 39/2025, the Court recognized the Guerrero state auditor as a party to the dispute, without lifting the suspensions.
  • The justices cited appearance of right and risk of delay while the Court prepares to resolve whether the ASF, rather than state bodies, may audit Ramo 33 transfers.
