Overview
- On November 19, the Supreme Court validated a 67,165,827‑peso fine against Nueva Elektra del Milenio for overstating 2012 losses, approving Minister Lenia Batres’s project by a 6–3 vote and revoking a prior amparo.
- The Court rejected an attempt to exclude Ministers Batres and Yasmín Esquivel from the case and sanctioned Nueva Elektra 300 UMA for bad faith and delay.
- With this decision, the Court has resolved eight of nine Grupo Salinas matters, confirming credits exceeding 48 billion pesos, while a 621.9 million‑peso Totalplay case remains pending.
- After first voting 8–1 on November 6 against attraction, the justices voted 6–3 on November 13 to take up FEMSA’s 2,868 million‑peso dispute tied to a 2011 “bono segregable” operation and a previously invalidated 2005 amount.
- Grupo Salinas denounced the rulings as politically motivated and said it will continue its legal defense, including actions before other national and international fora.
