Colima Seizes Ex-Governor Mario Anguiano’s Property to Recover Part of 2018 Fine

State revenue officials acted to collect a 2018 legislative fine tied to a 2015 loan after the sanction became final.

Overview

  • The state adjudicated a parcel in Tinajas to the government for 3,393,000 pesos, set at 60% of its appraisal, as partial payment toward a 515,174,928‑peso sanction.
  • Authorities said the seizure followed the dismissal of judicial appeals and formal notification from the local Congress that the penalty was definitive.
  • Seplafina’s Revenue Directorate reported it notified the former governor and, starting in 2022, searched for assets in his name eligible for embargo.
  • Officials framed the action as enforcing anti-corruption and proper use of public funds within the legal collection process.
  • Mario Anguiano disputed the findings, saying earlier audits found no irregularities, asserting the Interacciones loan contract was signed after his term ended, and noting he values the property at over 5 million pesos.
