Campeche Seizes Land Tied to PRI Leader ‘Alito’ Moreno for Health University

President Sheinbaum characterized the plots as bought with illicit funds and pledged tougher asset‑forfeiture rules.

Overview

  • The state published an expropriation decree covering roughly 7–8 hectares in Lomas del Castillo/Miramar, including parcels registered to Alejandro Moreno’s mother, Yolanda Mercedes Cárdenas, and architect Juan José Salazar Ferrer.
  • The measure is justified as serving a public purpose to build the Universidad Nacional Rosario Castellanos’ health campus in Campeche, based on a technical-legal opinion issued September 26.
  • Prosecutors in Campeche continue investigations into Moreno’s property dealings, stating two lots reached Salazar via dación de pago, while Moreno calls the move unconstitutional and will challenge it in court.
  • The action relies on a recent state expropriation reform that shortens defense windows and centralizes valuation, with Governor Layda Sansores saying court suspensions will not halt the process.
  • Sheinbaum linked the assets to corruption and said her administration is preparing changes to strengthen extinción de dominio, while also signaling support for removing legislative fuero.
