Mexico’s Supreme Court Upholds Freeze on Audit and Revocation Targeting Acapulco Mayor

The justices left suspensions intact pending a decision on whether the state audit office may scrutinize federal funds.

Overview

  • The Court unanimously rejected four reclamation appeals from the Guerrero Congress and the state audit office that sought to overturn the protections.
  • The measures keep on hold both a revocation effort and a state-led review tied to allegedly irregular management of roughly 898 million pesos from 2023 federal transfers.
  • The constitutional controversies 174/2025 and 176/2025, filed by the municipality through syndic Miguel Jaimes Ramos, remain awaiting a ruling on the merits.
  • In recurso 39/2025, the Court recognized the Guerrero Auditoría Superior as an interested authority after it had previously been excluded from the case.
  • The suspensions were originally granted in June 2025 by Justices Yasmín Esquivel Mossa and Javier Laynez Potisek, allowing Mayor Abelina López to continue in office until the Court rules.
