Nayarit Recovers 9.6 Million m² of Riviera Land in Corruption Case as Interpol Targets Ex-Governor Ney González

Prosecutors are channeling the reclaimed assets into constitutionally protected funds to prevent future diversion.

Overview

  • State and federal authorities said 9,619,454 m²—roughly 92–93% of the target—were reclaimed from schemes tied to the Bahía de Banderas trust dating to 2005–2021.
  • Officials valued the recovered properties at about 50 billion pesos, with the governor noting higher valuations are expected once services are installed.
  • The FGR confirmed an arrest order and Interpol red notice for former governor Ney González, while investigations continue involving ex-governor Roberto Sandoval, already jailed since 2021 on other charges.
  • Investigators secured 359 bank accounts holding approximately 7.213 billion pesos and reported altered records found during searches of public notaries.
  • Recovered assets are being placed in the Nuevo Nayarit sovereign fund and a worker retirement fund, with reported allocations of 51% to public investment and 49% to pensions under a no-sale model.
