Mexico's Ministry of Finance and Public Credit, through its Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF), reported that a provisional court order allows a former Sinaloa government official to access specified future pension payments without restoring full access to bank accounts. The Federal Court of Administrative Justice granted the relief in proceedings brought by the former official, reflecting pensions' legal protection from seizure.
The order covers future payments of old-age unemployment and widowhood pensions. Access is limited to payments from the Institute for Social Security and Services for State Workers (ISSSTE), the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) and the Autonomous University of Sinaloa. Funds not expressly covered by the order, along with all other financial transactions, remain subject to the applicable restrictions.
