What happened to Inés Gómez Mont? She pays illicit money that she allegedly received and is denied settlement | Famous

Inés Gómez Mont presented a reparation agreement to the Office of the Attorney General of the Republic for his alleged participation in the crimes of organized crime and money laundering. Nevertheless, was rejected by a federal judge.

According to the investigation, the Mexican presenter only received 14 million 843 thousand 816 pesos (738 thousand 642 dollars), which equals 0.5 percent of the more than 2,500 million pesos (124,402,300 dollars) allegedly diverted, reported Animal Politico.

The news portal had access to the investigation folder where the documents show that Inés offered to pay the 14 million pesos charged to her, which she would have received from the alleged ghost companies, but the Prosecutor’s Office refused.

In 2021, the federal judge, Iván Aarón Zeferín Hernández, issued the arrest warrant against Gómez Mont and her husband Víctor Manuel Álvarez Puga for the alleged crimes of organized crime and money laundering regarding the diversion of millions, money that was allegedly destined by Government for security in federal prisons.

According to the investigation of the Prosecutor’s Office, the Mexican presenter received deposits from two ghost companies: Tangamanga, for an amount of 7 million 395 thousand pesos (367 thousand 982 dollars), and Gupea, for 7 million 448 thousand 816 pesos (370 thousand 660 dollars). ), which adds up to 14 million 843 thousand 816 pesos (738 thousand 642 dollars), which is equivalent to less than one percent of those of 2 thousand 500 million (124 million 402 thousand 300 dollars) diverted.

In addition, the authorities also pointed out that in the case of Víctor Manuel Álvarez Puga, operations were carried out for less than 250 thousand pesos (12 thousand 440 dollars), detailed Animal Politico.

These figures show that the couple was not the main beneficiary of the diversion of resources, for which, until now It has not been proven that Gómez Mont organized the alleged fraudreports Political Animal.

“This aspect so far is not accredited, because the only thing probably corroborated is that were beneficiaries, along with other people, apparently in the same hierarchical rank; thus you can’t give them this quality (of directors or leaders),” says the judge in the resolution.

In 2019, the then-called Attorney General’s Office began an investigation against Inés for allegedly tax crimes and money launderingafter detecting that in 2016 it reported payments of 39 million pesos (1 million 940 thousand 676 dollars) for fee services from companies that pretended to be individuals.

On that occasion the Prosecutor accused her of not having covered taxes and suspected that those revenues could come from “front companies.” In November 2017, Inés Gómez Mont tried to reach a reparation agreement by paying almost 12 million pesos (597 thousand 131 dollars) and two more (99 thousand 522 dollars) in 2019, but the Prosecutor’s Office refused to accept this solution and continue with the process.

In September 2021, Gómez Mont obtained an amparo on the denial of the reparation paymentbut it did not proceed because it was concluded that said proposal was not made before the Treasury Attorney’s Office, but rather with the Tax Administration Service, an institution that does not have the legal powers for this case.

Although the millionaire payment that Inés made helped, the judge considers that the process brought against her by the Public Ministry should not be closed because it is about different procedures.

Faced with this resolution by the federal judge, Inés Gómez Mont’s legal team filed a new amparo claim alleging that the Prosecutor’s Office insists “on rejecting a reparation agreement for payments that have already been made“which would end the investigation into tax evasion in 2017 and also for the investigation in 2019, which led to the arrest warrant against him, reported Animal Politico.
