Overview
- PAN alternate legislator María Elena Pérez-Jaén submitted 37 complaints to the FGR citing ASF audits of Tabasco’s 2019–2020 accounts that report a possible loss of roughly 700–800 million pesos.
- The filings ask the anti-corruption prosecutor to open case files, obtain audit records, conduct investigative acts and consider initiating a declaration of procedence to lift the senator’s immunity.
- Audit excerpts cited include irregular transfers to medical units, duplicate or improper payrolls such as payments to deceased or licensed workers, missing documentation, and a 5.381 million peso shortfall tied to armament delivery evidence.
- Citizen bodies within the National Anticorruption System urged the Senate’s internal control, SAT, ASF, UIF and FGR to verify the senator’s patrimonial, fiscal and interest disclosures and to ensure the chamber is not used as a shield.
- SNA president Vania Pérez Morales said the system’s investigative call was taken down after pressure she attributes to a CPC commissioner and contacts from the Senate, a claim Patricia Talavera disputes; no indictments have been announced.
