Mexico’s Supreme Court Fines Actinver, Rejects Recusal Bid in High-Value Amparo

The justices found the bank’s claims unsupported by evidence, clearing the way for the amparo to move forward.

Overview

  • Banco Actinver was ordered to pay a 300-UMA sanction (about 33,942 pesos) for filing recusals the Court deemed delay tactics.
  • The Supreme Court declared unfounded the attempt to bar Minister Loretta Ortiz Ahlf from hearing the case, allowing her to participate.
  • Impediment claims against retired ministers Jorge Mario Pardo Rebolledo and Juan Luis González Alcántara Carrancá were dismissed as moot after their departures.
  • The Court noted the bank offered only press clippings to allege a U.S. investigation tied to Ortiz’s family, finding no documentary proof in the case file.
  • The underlying litigation involves a judgment for roughly 1,100 million pesos against Actinver over a trust contract dispute, and the amparo (AD 9/2024) remains pending before the plenary.
