Tamaulipas audit uncovers 11 billion pesos missing in water agencies, seeks 50‑60 million recovery

The Auditoría Superior del Estado (ASE) of Tamaulipas reported that water operators (Comapas) have more than 11 billion pesos unresolved in their public accounts, a 45.11 % increase from 2023 to 2024. State deputy Elvia Eguía Castillo called for an urgent review of the accounting areas, stating, “Es urgente revisar las áreas contables de las Comapas, porque los montos observados reflejan problemas que deben atenderse de manera inmediata.”

Separately, ASE announced a legal strategy to recover between 50 and 60 million pesos identified as observed resources. Auditor Francisco Noriega Orozco explained, “Estaríamos hablando de alrededor de entre 50 y 60 millones de pesos los que estamos tratando de que sean resarcidos ante el Tribunal de Justicia Administrativa.” The effort involves about 27 open procedures, with sanctions already imposed on more than a hundred public servants for irregularities.
