Mexico’s Supreme Court Takes Up Grupo Salinas Tax Cases at Alternate Venue

Justices convene at a secondary site following rejection of last‑minute bids to delay the long‑running disputes.

Overview

  • The plenary is set to discuss multiple amparos that could leave in place lower-court rulings requiring payment of about 48 billion pesos.
  • Fifteen projects on the docket aim to resolve seven of nine pending litigations tied to income tax assessments from 2008 to 2015, including updates, surcharges and fines.
  • Minister President Hugo Aguilar Ortiz denied requests to suspend proceedings and to recuse all nine ministers, imposing fines for what he deemed dilatory tactics.
  • The Court announced the session would be held at its Av. Revolución 1508 site due to planned mobilizations near the main building.
  • Grupo Salinas argues it faces double and unconstitutional charges, while the government and tax authority maintain the assessments are lawful and must be paid.
