Government of Mexico can initiate legal procedures
He assured that with the resolution of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, The government of President Claudia Sheinbaum could initiate legal procedures to require the payment of more than 48 billion pesos.
He clarified that in Mexico there are few cases like that of businessman Ricardo Salinas Pliego with million-dollar debts with the SAT, But there are many companies or entrepreneurs who have debts with smaller amounts.
“They may now require payment of tax credits and since their companies are legally established, public and they have a lot of money, the simplest thing is to freeze the accounts or seize the company, for me there is no turning back or negotiation with the government,” he concluded.
