Supreme Court Presidency Dismisses UIF Bid to Revive Collado’s Andorra Case

The filing failed to meet constitutional thresholds for review, leaving intact prior findings on the unit’s lack of standing.

Overview

  • SCJN President Norma Piña ordered the dismissal of the UIF’s review, closing the high‑court route to reopen allegations tied to roughly 40 million held in Andorra.
  • The presidency cited Article 107, section IX of the Constitution and Article 81, section II of the Amparo Law to declare the review inadmissible.
  • The Seventh Collegiate Criminal Tribunal had ruled in July that the UIF lacked standing to pursue a direct amparo because no public patrimony was directly affected.
  • The agreement was signed on August 20 and published/notified on August 28, coinciding with the final week of Piña’s term leading the Court.
  • Case history includes an FGR no‑exercise decision nearly nine years ago, Andorra’s 2018 unblocking after FGR interventions, a 2020 fraud reclassification, and a later finding of insufficient evidence to bind Juan Collado to process; Collado is a prominent lawyer who represented Enrique Peña Nieto and now resides in Spain.
