Laura Itzel Castillo declared assets worth 15.7 million pesos
Laura Itzel Castillo declared assets worth 15.7 million pesos in October 2026, compared with about 2.9 million in 2019.
She bought two apartments for a combined 13.4 million pesos, paying in full, according to an investigation based on her asset declarations.
One apartment cost 2.5 million pesos in December 2023, when she was a Pemex independent director; the other cost 10.9 million in December 2024, after she joined the Senate.
Castillo is now Mexico’s secretary for women, and the declared value of her assets rose by 437.3% over the six years.
The investigation found properties missing from some declarations, then listed again later, and said she did not state income from selling two properties in a May 2025 filing.
The differences raise questions about how her assets and transactions were recorded, but the available information does not say what happens next.
