# Mexico anti-corruption probes: Garcia under scrutiny > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/samuel-garca-corruption-probe-in-mexico > Updated: 2026-07-29T07:39:01.000Z. Sources: 64. Developments: 16. The anti‑corruption investigation in Nuevo León continues to focus on Governor Samuel García. After multiple amparos, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) granted a provisional suspension on 13 July 2026 that bars the state Congress from executing any removal or disqualification of García while a constitutional controversy is resolved. The court said the measure is intended to prevent irreparable damage if a later ruling finds the removal unlawful. The political trial against García proceeds, but any final sanction is stayed until the SCJN issues a definitive judgment. García announced the decision on social media, emphasizing that the case is now under judicial review. President Claudia Sheinbaum, Morena deputy Alfonso Ramírez Cuéllar and Movimiento Ciudadano senator Clemente Castañeda have denounced the suspension as a “blindaje” and urged García to clarify the allegations, which involve a roughly one‑billion‑peso fund‑triangulation scheme. On 19 July 2026, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) in Chihuahua filed an electoral complaint against municipal president Ana Laura González Abrego of Guadalupe y Calvo and communication chief Hugo Corral Valenzuela. The state electoral institute (IEE) accepted the filing and opened an ordinary sanctioning procedure, citing evidence of personalized political promotion, misuse of public funds, violations of impartiality and the use of minors in political propaganda. González and Corral have been ordered to respond within the legal deadline, and the PRI pledged to monitor the process for a transparent resolution. On 29 July 2026, Mexico’s state anti‑corruption commission sent 163 formal requests to notaries in Nuevo León seeking information on any real‑estate transactions involving García and his family. Committee chair Armida Serrato Flores said the effort, part of the ongoing impeachment process, will also draw on tax, financial and banking regulator data, warning that continued non‑response could trigger impeachment or administrative sanctions. ## Timeline ### 2026-07-29: Anti‑corruption investigations intensify in Mexico and Guatemala Mexico and Guatemala step up anti‑corruption probes, targeting Governor Samuel García in Mexico and reviewing dismissed complaints in Guatemala, potentially leading to investigations and prosecutions. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/anticorruption-investigations-intensify-in-mexico-and-guatemala ### 2026-07-19: Mexican mayor Ana Laura González faces electoral sanction over alleged resource misuse PRI filed an electoral complaint in Chihuahua against mayor Ana Laura González and communications chief Hugo Corral for alleged misuse of public resources and propaganda with minors; the state electoral body (I 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mexican-mayor-ana-laura-gonzlez-faces-electoral-sanction-over-alleged-resource-misuse ### 2026-07-14: Mexico Supreme Court suspends removal of Governor Samuel García Mexico's Supreme Court has suspended any removal of Governor Samuel García pending a constitutional review, while the political trial in Nuevo León's Congress proceeds. 9 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mexicos-supreme-court-suspends-political-trial-of-nuevo-len-governor-samuel-garca ### 2026-07-12: Mexico's Supreme Court suspends political trial of Nuevo León Governor Samuel García Mexico's Supreme Court halted the Nuevo León Congress from voting to dismiss Governor Samuel García, pending resolution of his constitutional challenge to the political trial. 11 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mexicos-courts-suspend-governors-impeachment-trial-and-mahahual-development-plan ### 2026-07-10: Nuevo León Governor Samuel Garcia Faces Political Trial Deputy Lorena de la Garza criticized Governor Samuel Garcia for using amparos to block a suspended impeachment, urging transparency and stating Congress will continue the trial. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nuevo-len-governor-samuel-garcia-faces-political-trial ### 2026-07-09: Mexican officials investigated for concealed property donations and ranch acquisitions Mexican officials face corruption probes: Zinacantepec's syndic filed 22 complaints over hidden property donations, while PAN demands Yucatán Governor Díaz Mena clarify costly ranch purchases. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mexican-officials-investigated-for-concealed-property-donations-and-ranch-acquisitions ### 2026-07-04: Mexican officials face corruption accusations over public resource misuse Mexican PAN and PRI lawmakers filed corruption complaints against Nuevo León Governor Samuel García and 16 municipal officials for alleged misuse of public resources in political activities. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mexican-officials-face-corruption-accusations-over-public-resource-misuse ### 2026-06-26: Nuevo León Governor Samuel García Faces Impeachment Investigation Nuevo León’s Anticorruption Commission has launched an investigation into Governor Samuel García, demanding data from 69 agencies and 12 companies.
