Legislative developments in Mexico and Peru

Overview

Legislative activity in Mexico and Peru has focused on criminal law and regulatory reforms. In Mexico, the Chamber of Deputies approved a report to establish “sports corruption” as a crime, proposing prison sentences of 2 to 12 years for those influencing competition results. Additionally, a federal initiative was presented to increase penalties for the crime of dispossession, seeking to raise prison sentences from a maximum of five years to a range of six to ten years, with increased fines for public officials involved.

In Peru, parliamentary actions have addressed both ethics and NGO regulations. The Ethics Commission recommended a 120-day suspension for Deputy Julián Pérez Mallqui following allegations of violence, while also approving investigations into irregular hiring practices. Furthermore, members of the Buen Gobierno parliamentary group have proposed Bill No. 676-2026 to repeal the “Anti-NGO Law,” which currently restricts non-governmental organizations from using international funding for legal actions against the state.
