Overview

• Ricardo Salinas Pliego disclosed that he filed a claim against Andrés Manuel López Obrador and the fiscal prosecutor, alleging an unfulfilled settlement to pay 7,500 million pesos.
• He asserts he already paid about 2,500–2,600 million pesos and expected a total outlay near 10,000 million, which authorities later refused to honor.
• President Claudia Sheinbaum reiterates that the tax authority’s claim is legitimate at roughly 74,000 million pesos and states that no tribunal has sided with the businessman.
• Recent 2025 rulings strengthened the state’s case, including a decision ordering TV Azteca to cover 3,500 million pesos, with courts upholding more than 7,000 million in liabilities across cases.
• The long‑running dispute is now poised for a definitive ruling by the Supreme Court, as Salinas frames the enforcement as political pressure and warns the full sum equals about five years of Grupo Salinas’ profits.
