Overview
- On August 14, the Fiscalía General de la República removed Arturo Serrano Meneses and nine senior Órgano Interno de Control officials from their posts.
- Reports in Reforma allege the dismissed officials committed crimes against the administration of justice, trafficking of influence and serious omissions.
- FGR sources have flagged the Unit for Transparency’s mishandling of public and personal data and a disputed Guanajuato incident in which a substance labeled as seized drugs was later deemed different.
- President Sheinbaum publicly demanded that Attorney General Gertz Manero explain the grounds for the removals and outline any pending administrative or criminal steps.
- Formal investigations by the FGR’s anticorruption and oversight units are underway, but no public timeline exists for potential disciplinary or criminal sanctions.
