Overview

• Pío López Obrador released a video celebrating the INE’s recent decision that found an inexistence of electoral infraction linked to the 2020 recordings.
• He asserted the footage was manipulated and illicitly obtained, citing what he says are FGR forensic findings, a claim reported as his statement.
• He said the electoral authority’s probe spanned five years and drew information from the UIF, SAT, CNBV, FGR and the electoral crimes prosecutor’s office.
• He pledged to seek justice over what he described as moral and personal damage and has previously sued journalist Carlos Loret de Mola for 200 million pesos over the publication.
• The videos, published by Latinus in 2020, showed David León Romero delivering cash, and a separate 2022 decision by the electoral crimes prosecutor declined to pursue charges for lack of sufficient evidence.
