Ex-Administration Chief at Mexico State Administrative Court Arrested Over Alleged 32.48 Million-Peso Diversion

The detention follows a prosecutor-led probe into token-authorized transfers that moved tribunal funds to outside accounts before the bank restored the money in December 2023.

Overview

  • State prosecutors in the State of Mexico executed an arrest warrant for Tomás “N,” former TRIJAEM administration director, on probable abuse of trust.
  • Investigators allege he helped divert 32,482,330.09 pesos from the tribunal through 29 electronic transfers using token devices assigned to finance officials.
  • Bank executives flagged the irregular movements on December 4, 2023, and the institution reversed the transfers between December 7 and 13 after the tribunal’s complaint.
  • Omar “N,” the tribunal’s former financial services chief, was detained in August and is under process in connection with the same scheme.
  • The prosecutor’s office says the inquiry remains active and could implicate other public servants, bank employees, or third parties, as the tribunal pledges full cooperation and adherence to due process.
