New recordings feature claims by INE contractor against former chief
Recordings attributed to contractor José Alfredo Hernández Casillas have surfaced in Mexico, featuring his claims about former National Electoral Institute (INE) chief Guadalupe Taddei.
The clips describe a breakdown in their relationship and disagreements over projects and business linked to the electoral body.
Hernández Casillas, a representative of Cajas Graf, which supplies election materials to the INE, says he had invested in projects and helped build teams there.
He also claims that contracts helped support Taddei’s children, but the recordings do not independently verify his allegations.
Taddei resigned as INE president on October 27 after corruption and conflict-of-interest allegations; she has not responded to the claims in the material described here.
Blanca Yassahara Cruz is serving as interim president, while President Claudia Sheinbaum has called for an audit of contracts, including those from before Taddei’s tenure.
The dispute draws attention to how election-supply contracts were awarded as Mexico prepares for elections in June 2027.
Newly released recordings feature contractor José Alfredo Hernández Casillas making claims about projects and business dealings involving former INE president Guadalupe Taddei.
The recordings include Hernández Casillas saying he had invested in projects and accusing Taddei of seeking to end their relationship and commitments.
He also claimed that two of Taddei’s children benefited from contracts, but the reports provide no independent documentation to verify his claims.
The recordings were publicized by journalists Carlos Loret de Mola and Adela Micha, and by La Saga.
Taddei resigned as president of Mexico’s National Electoral Institute on October 27, amid corruption and conflict-of-interest allegations, according to Infobae.
