Investigation Finds Undeclared Mérida Home Linked to Conade Chief Rommel Pacheco

Public records contradict Pacheco’s sworn asset filings, raising questions under Mexico’s public‑servant transparency law.

Overview

  • Property registry documents show Pacheco bought 50% of a Montecristo house from his ex‑partner Paola Espinosa on January 6, 2017, for 820,000 pesos, a transaction not reflected in his public asset disclosures.
  • Espinosa alleges she ceded the Mérida property under threats and financial pressure, with her account reported by Proceso, and no administrative or criminal proceedings reported to have been opened.
  • Between 2020 and 2025, five sworn declarations list real estate in San Crisanto, yet registry records indicate the cited house is actually in Mérida, highlighting inconsistencies in location and reporting.
  • Additional properties registered to Pacheco— including a 2020 purchase in San Pedro Cholul and a 2021 house in central Mérida— do not appear in earlier filings, while a 2022 co‑owned home at Club de Golf La Ceiba is disclosed.
  • A San Crisanto property known as Casa Chukum is frequently rented through the 2023‑formed company Comercializadora Jorshapi, with testimonies describing transfers or cash payments and limited invoicing.
