Mexico's federal auditor maps links among INE workers and suppliers
Mexico's federal auditor is investigating links between INE workers and suppliers to the country's electoral authority.
The audit agency's map lists seven companies, 83 people and 89 connections, with six people linked to multiple companies.
The companies include Corporativo ZEG, Cajas Graf, Formas Finas and Seriplast, which are connected through people and business relationships.
One link is Jonathan “N,” a former INE worker and representative of Corporativo ZEG, who reported income of 601,751 pesos between May 2025 and March 2026.
The auditor says suppliers linked to ZEG received 21.3 million pesos and had operated as invoice-certification providers whose tax certifications were revoked.
The head of the audit agency also said two business groups held 8.87 billion pesos in public contracts from 2014 to 2026, including 3.79 billion pesos with local electoral bodies.
The agency says these links warrant deeper checks for possible conflicts of interest or wrongdoing, and the investigation is continuing.
