The Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF) reported that by order of the Federal Administrative Justice Tribunal (TFJA), former governor Rubén Rocha Moya was granted partial access to his accounts derived from pensions for advanced age retirement and widow's pension.
Through a statement, the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP), through the UIF, detailed that the judicial procedure was promoted by the former governor of Sinaloa.
It shared that the TFJA granted a provisional suspension that allows access to future disbursements derived from pensions for advanced age retirement and widow's pension; that is, he may only dispose of resources from ISSSTE, IMSS, and the Autonomous University of Sinaloa, as they are "resources protected by the principle of non-seizability of pensions."
The ruling, issued by the Second Regional Chamber in Sinaloa of the TFJA, specifies that the measure does not imply total access to bank accounts, so, it assured, resources other than those mentioned, as well as any other financial operation, remain subject to "corresponding restrictions."
"The SHCP, through the UIF, reiterates its commitment to respecting judicial resolutions, due process, and the right to a guarantee of hearing, as well as strengthening institutional actions to prevent and combat operations with resources of illicit origin," is read in the document.
