Overview
- By unanimous vote, the SCJN dismissed Elektra’s amparo 6321/2024, making final a ruling that requires payment of 33,306,476,349 pesos for a 2013 income tax credit, with updates, surcharges and fines.
- The justices also resolved or advanced multiple Elektra and TV Azteca matters, with combined liabilities reported around 48,000 to 48,393 million pesos covering tax years from 2008 to 2015.
- The Court rejected attempts to recuse ministers Lenia Batres and Yasmín Esquivel and sanctioned Grupo Salinas for filings deemed to delay the administration of justice.
- Case records and media tallies show the conglomerate lodged more than 100 legal resources over several years to postpone final judgments, while the Court’s president refused further postponements.
- Grupo Salinas condemned the rulings as politically motivated and said it will seek international avenues, as President Claudia Sheinbaum emphasized respect for judicial independence and the rule of law.
