Sheinbaum Denies Leak as Adán Augusto Defends 79 Million Pesos in Transfers

The president rejects leak claims, citing no active investigation.

Overview

  • N+/Televisa published SAT records alleging that Adán Augusto López Hernández received roughly 79 million pesos in 2023–2024 with figures that do not align with his public asset declarations and appear inconsistent with reported ISR payments.
  • Adán Augusto acknowledged the transfers, described them as lawful income from professional services, inheritance and business activities, and said he will correct patrimonial declarations if needed while denying any conflict of interest.
  • After initial reports highlighted very low ISR percentages, the senator asserted he paid effective rates of about 33–35% and presented revised totals, including 9.18 million pesos in taxes on 26.24 million of 2023 income and 6.94 million on 61.57 million in 2024.
  • President Claudia Sheinbaum said her government does not leak documents, rejected talk of “fuego amigo,” and stated that no case is open against López Hernández, adding that authorities should proceed only if there is evidence.
  • Opposition voices argued his explanations leave unanswered questions, pointing to transfers from family-linked firms and at least one entity labeled a possible ghost company, while the senator said he has not been summoned in the Bermúdez matter and will cooperate if called.
