Overview

  • Councillors voted unanimously to terminate the five-year inquiry, concluding they could not substantiate illicit financing to Morena or any electoral infraction.
  • The Unidad Técnica de Fiscalización reported no transfers, accounting entries or fiscal records linking the cash seen in the videos to party activities.
  • FISEL’s 2022 decision not to prosecute, citing postproduction alterations that undermined the videos’ probative value, limited the INE’s ability to proceed.
  • INE officials cited non-cooperation by authorities such as the TSJCDMX and urged stronger fiscalization tools and full compliance with information requests.
  • In the same session, the INE unanimously rejected Morena’s bid to open an oficioso probe into PRI leader Alejandro Moreno, citing prescription and procedural defects.
