Overview

• Ricardo Salinas Pliego and his companies deposited a 25 million dollar bond in New York after a contempt finding tied to AT&T’s judgment over undisclosed tax liabilities from the 2014 Iusacell sale, a case overseen by Judge Andrea Masley.
• Grupo Salinas says it is evaluating defamation and moral‑damage actions in Mexico and the United States against President Claudia Sheinbaum, asserting political persecution and pointing to a nine‑hour Chiapas stopover involving Hernán Bermúdez Requena as a neglected security issue.
• Sheinbaum characterizes the U.S. case as a defraudation related to selling without full disclosure and tells the businessman to pay what he owes, while urging scrutiny of how he acquired TV Azteca, possible FOBAPROA benefits, ADN40, and a stake in Mexicana.
• Reporting cites large outstanding fiscal claims against Salinas’s companies in Mexico, with figures described in the tens of billions of pesos under dispute with tax authorities.
• In a late statement on X, Salinas proposed an open negotiation table with the presidency to find agreements so his companies “pay what is fair,” framing it as a signal to restore investor confidence.
