Governor Samuel García of Nuevo León has faced legislative and audit-related scrutiny regarding his administration’s claims and the management of state funds. During a legislative review of his fifth report, officials questioned the accuracy of the Governor’s infrastructure and mobility claims. Discrepancies were noted in public transportation figures, where the reported number of new buses in operation was higher than the actual units circulating. Additionally, critics in the state Congress challenged claims regarding the construction of new highways, noting that several projects were rehabilitations or expansions of existing routes rather than entirely new roads. Further investigations by the Auditoría Superior de la Federación (ASF) have identified a potential diversion of at least 60.4 million pesos. These funds, originally intended for security and prison supplies through contracts with TXAT Latam, were allegedly transferred through a triangulation scheme involving intermediary companies. Reports suggest these resources may have been directed to Firma Jurídica y Fiscal, a private law firm linked to Governor García and his family. Auditor Aureliano Hernández noted that such schemes may have resulted in deposits totaling at least 728.13 million pesos to the firm. No judicial resolution has established criminal responsibility regarding these operations. Recent developments indicate that the ASF has reportedly filed a criminal complaint with the Fiscalía General de la República against Governor García for suspected improper handling of funds. Alfonso Ramírez Cuéllar, the Morena vice-coordinator in the Chamber of Deputies, has called for the reinstatement of the anti-corruption commission in Nuevo León to facilitate a political trial regarding alleged irregularities in the management of 7.2 billion pesos. A temporary suspension of the political trial was granted by Supreme Court Minister Estela Ríos, citing potential impacts on state governability.
