Guadalupe Taddei’s son earns more than one million pesos a year in Sonora
Luis Rogelio Piñeda Taddei works in Sonora’s state government as a private secretary in its Legal Counsel’s Office.
He is the son of Guadalupe Taddei Zavala, the former head of Mexico’s National Electoral Institute.
Official records list monthly pay of 138,494 pesos before deductions, and 85,073 pesos after tax.
The records also list a vacation bonus, and the story says his yearly income exceeds one million pesos.
His appointment has drawn scrutiny over possible nepotism, as Taddei’s children and other relatives have held public jobs in Sonora.
Another son, Jorge Francisco, held posts at the state’s scholarship and education credit institute, with a listed gross salary of 20,104 pesos a month.
A video of Jorge Francisco in Paris with election-sector supplier José Alfredo Hernández Casillas added to the controversy; Hernández Casillas is under investigation by federal audit and financial authorities.
The available information does not say what action, if any, will follow.
