Querétaro prosecutors settle debts for 370 teachers defrauded by fake foundation

The Querétaro State Attorney General's Office has finalized 370 agreements to settle debts for teachers who were victims of a fraudulent scheme. The agreements were reached between the affected educators and the banking institution that issued the irregular credits.

Investigations revealed that individuals posing as members of a foundation based in Tlaxcala deceived the teachers by promising economic support. Instead, they used deceptive tactics to process bank loans in the victims' names. Approximately 75 percent of the funds were transferred to accounts belonging to the suspected perpetrators.

To mitigate the impact on victims, the Attorney General's Office coordinated with judicial authorities and the bank to suspend payroll deductions. Following meetings involving State Attorney General Víctor Antonio De Jesús Hernández, bank executives, and legal representatives, the debts were settled and the teachers received official debt clearance letters.
