Tax Experts Question 2.4% ISR on Adán Augusto’s Reported 79 Million Pesos, Prompting Calls for Audit

The Morena senator acknowledges the receipts as lawful and declared, yet transparency records and his own figures leave gaps that critics say the SAT should examine.

Overview

  • An N+ (Televisa) investigation reported that Adán Augusto López recibió about 78–79 million pesos in 2023–2024 from private firms, including one previously sancionada by the SAT for operaciones simuladas.
  • Responding at a press conference, López said the money came from professional services, rentas, venta de ganado, rendimientos financieros and a U.S. inheritance, insisting everything was declared and involved no conflicto de interés.
  • Journalistic reviews of his declarations on the Plataforma Nacional de Transparencia found that the multimillion‑peso sums he now cites do not appear in his public patrimonial filings, and reporters documented contradictions in the figures he presented.
  • Fiscal specialists calculated an effective ISR near 2.4% on the 79 million pesos—about 1.9 million pesos paid in total—far below applicable rates, noting inheritances are not taxed and urging the SAT and prosecutors to open audits or formal reviews.
  • Political pressure has grown as President Claudia Sheinbaum asked the senator to clarify the case, and separately his ex‑security chief Hernán Bermúdez Requena remains vinculado a proceso for organized‑crime‑related charges.
