Overview

• A federal court imposed a sentence of three years, eleven months and five days plus disqualification and fines after Cervera López admitted to falsifying judicial reports in an abbreviated procedure.
• The conviction stems from his role between 2013 and 2018 in submitting false prior and justified reports that enabled sham amparo proceedings against defaulted Infonavit beneficiaries.
• Investigations uncovered in December 2018 revealed coordinated fraud involving Infonavit employees, law firms, notaries and judges across at least six states, affecting over 62,000 households.
• Because his penalty is under five years, Cervera López can seek substitute measures such as bail rather than immediate imprisonment.
• In a parallel plea agreement, Pedro Enríquez, former state judiciary president, was handed a five-year sentence and ordered to pay four million pesos in reparations.
