Overview

• Following a Televisa report alleging unreported transfers from private firms, the Morena Senate leader said the more than 78 million pesos he received in 2023–2024 came from legal professional work and a U.S. inheritance and were declared to the SAT and in Senate disclosures.
• He detailed taxable income of about 22.6 million pesos for 2023 and said 2024 income reached roughly 56 million pesos from services, rentals, cattle sales and financial returns, insisting corresponding taxes were paid.
• SinEmbargo’s document check found his recent declarations on the Plataforma Nacional de Transparencia list only public-salary income and leave fields blank, highlighting gaps and contradictions with the totals he cited and the amounts he says private companies paid.
• He rejected claims of conflict of interest or campaign donations disguised as transfers, said he did not personally award state contracts, and affirmed he will not resign his Senate posts, asserting support from his caucus.
• In the parallel case of his former Tabasco security chief, a judge linked Hernán Bermúdez Requena to process for association, express kidnapping and extortion, ordered preventive detention at Altiplano, and López defended the past appointment as based on results and no intelligence warnings, as a public poll shows most respondents doubt Bermúdez will testify against him.
