Sheinbaum Says Campeche Plots Tied to ‘Alito’ Were Bought With Illicit Funds as PRI Leader Plans Lawsuits

The state expropriated several Lomas del Castillo properties for a new public university under a recently tightened law.

Overview

  • President Claudia Sheinbaum said the expropriated properties were acquired through corruption and money laundering and signaled work on faster asset-forfeiture rules.
  • Campeche’s decree, already published, covers multiple plots in Lomas del Castillo/Miramar for the Universidad Nacional Rosario Castellanos School of Health.
  • Records list owners linked by state authorities to PRI chief Alejandro Moreno, including his mother Yolanda Mercedes Cárdenas Montero and architect Juan José Salazar Ferrer, described as a presumed front man.
  • Moreno denied the accusations, called them politically motivated, and said he will file complaints in Mexico and internationally while asserting his assets have been judicially validated.
  • State prosecutors cite an open case file (CI-2-2022-31-42) alleging financial crimes and say Salazar Ferrer received two parcels from Moreno as payment, as the dispute moves toward court challenges under the revamped expropriation law.
