Mexico’s Supreme Court Fines Actinver Over Delay Tactics in Billion-Peso Case

The unanimous ruling clears Minister Loretta Ortiz to take part in Amparo 9/2024.

Overview

  • The Plenary imposed a 300 UMA penalty—about 33,942 pesos—on Actinver by an 8–0 vote in a public session.
  • The Court rejected Actinver’s bid to recuse Loretta Ortiz as unfounded after finding only press reports, not evidence, of any U.S. investigation involving a relative.
  • Impediment claims against former ministers Jorge Mario Pardo Rebolledo and Juan Luis González Alcántara Carrancá were deemed moot following their August 31 departures.
  • Minister Lenia Batres said the bank advanced knowingly improper recusals that delayed the case, and her sanction proposal was adopted.
  • The underlying dispute involves a judgment for 1,000 million pesos in damages plus 100 million in punitive damages linked to a trust breach with businessman Rafael Zaga Tawil, now under review in the attracted direct amparo.
