Mexico’s Supreme Court Dismisses Grupo Salinas Amparos, Paving Way to Collect 48 Billion Pesos

The unanimous ruling leaves lower-court orders in force to trigger collection steps by Hacienda.

Overview

  • By a unanimous vote, the SCJN plenary rejected seven amparos from Elektra and TV Azteca, leaving intact rulings that require payment of long‑disputed tax credits.
  • The dismissal of amparo directo en revisión 6321/2024 confirms Elektra’s liability for 33,306,476,349 pesos tied to a 2013 ISR case.
  • In total, resolved cases place Grupo Salinas’ exposure at roughly 48.3 billion pesos for ISR, updates, surcharges and fines from fiscal years mainly 2008–2013.
  • Ministers adopted projects noting the petitions lacked the exceptional constitutional interest needed for Supreme Court review, and the Court fined Elektra 70 UMAs for dilatory recusals.
  • President Claudia Sheinbaum said Hacienda and the SAT will proceed with collection once notified if there is no payment, while Grupo Salinas denounced the ruling and vowed to pursue international remedies; two additional Supreme Court matters remain pending.
