Overview

  • Senate President Gerardo Fernández Noroña confirmed he bought a Tepoztlán home valued at 12 million pesos on credit, said he declared it, cited Senate and YouTube income, and rejected any link to criminal financing.
  • Claudia Sheinbaum criticized media focus on the house and urged attention to revelations involving Genaro García Luna, noting the DEA chief’s comparison of him with major cartel leaders.
  • Sheinbaum stated there is currently no proof that Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada bribed federal officials and pledged action if evidence emerges, as Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch reported no military or naval personnel implicated to date.
  • The government framed investigations as a matter for the Fiscalía General de la República and highlighted seizures against organized crime totaling more than 50,300 million pesos this sexenio.
  • Lilly Téllez asserted that Sheinbaum did request her desafuero, a claim the president has publicly denied, keeping the dispute unresolved.
