FGR Seeks Hearing to Charge Emilio Zebadúa With Illicit Enrichment in ‘Estafa Maestra’ Case

Judicial sources say the imputación could be set after new district judges take office.

Overview

  • The Fiscalía Especializada de Control Competencial exercised criminal action at the Reclusorio Sur and asked a federal judge to convene an initial imputación hearing.
  • Emilio Zebadúa, ex official mayor at Sedesol and Sedatu, had served as a witness collaborator and is now treated as an accused in the probe.
  • FGR investigators identify him as the principal operator of a diversion scheme that routed public funds through universities and public media systems.
  • Authorities attribute approximately 5,073,358,846 pesos in diverted resources to the scheme, allegedly enabled by falsified signatures from his team.
  • No date has been set for the hearing, which could be scheduled after September 1 when new district court judges are installed.
