Overview
- Campeche published a decree declaring public use to expropriate several parcels in the Miramar/Lomas del Castillo area for a planned University Nacional Rosario Castellanos campus.
- Officials say the properties include one registered to Moreno’s mother, Yolanda Mercedes Cárdenas Montero, and two held by architect Juan José Salazar Ferrer near Moreno’s residence.
- The state Fiscalía reports two lots were transferred to Salazar Ferrer as dación de pago from Alejandro Moreno, and a neighboring parcel is owned by Rafael and Gabriela Castilla Azar.
- Sheinbaum has linked the acquisitions to corruption and money laundering and is pressing to strengthen Mexico’s asset forfeiture regime so corruption cases proceed faster and fund education projects.
- Moreno denies wrongdoing, cites favorable court rulings, and says he will file national and international complaints, while Governor Layda Sansores says up to 34 properties tied to alleged prestanombres are under review under a recently tightened expropriation law.
