Mexico sanctions 55 officials and a company for corruption
The Secretaría Anticorrupción y Buen Gobierno (SABG) and the Tribunal Federal de Justicia Administrativa (TFJA) have imposed sanctions on 55 public officials and one company for administrative irregularities. The total fines amount to 102 million pesos. The penalties include dismissals, economic sanctions, and disqualifications from holding public office for up to 10 years.
Investigations covered 20 government agencies, including Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX), Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE), and the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS). Identified irregularities involve conflicts of interest, sexual harassment, misuse of public resources, procurement anomalies, and the receipt of undue economic benefits.
Specific cases include PEMEX employees receiving fraudulent gasoline reimbursements and one official simulating the hiring of three individuals to collect their wages. Other sanctions were issued for failing to declare debts and unauthorized hiring of family members.
