Overview
- Hugo Aguilar, president of the Supreme Court, denied the companies’ request to suspend rulings, saying there is no legal basis to pause decisions for a prospective negotiation.
- The seven pending appeals involve credits totaling 33,477 million pesos, with five cases tied to Grupo Elektra and two to TV Azteca.
- Lower courts have already upheld the tax authority’s resolutions, so the Supreme Court’s review is confined to constitutional questions.
- Grupo Salinas proposed on October 16 to settle under two scenarios—about 5,691 million or 8,964 million pesos—but the federal fiscal prosecutor said it would not answer, calling the letter a delay tactic.
- Elektra’s amparo over the prosecutor’s silence was admitted by the Eighth District Court, while a separate attempt to recuse the nine justices was promptly dismissed.
