Guadalupe Taddei Mexico migration status investigation, Digi Mart USA News (Mexico): Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to questions about whether Guadalupe Taddei had left the country after her name was mentioned in a government investigation into alleged irregularities in electoral contracts.
During her Thursday morning press conference on November 5, a reporter asked the president whether information about the migration status of Taddei and brothers José Alfredo and Reymundo Hernández Casillas had been presented at Security Cabinet meetings. The businessmen had been named in an investigation into companies that allegedly received contracts from electoral bodies.
No information was presented during the conference confirming that Taddei or the Hernández Casillas brothers had left Mexico. Sheinbaum said the matter had not been addressed in security meetings up to that point, but indicated that the corresponding information could be requested to verify their status.
When the reporter pressed on whether her answer meant the three individuals were still in Mexican territory, the president replied: “Yes, that is what we presume. But well, let the investigation be reviewed.” Her statement was limited to what the federal government presumes so far and to a call for review, so it does not represent an official confirmation of the migration movements of the people mentioned.
Anticorruption and Good Government Secretary Raquel Buenrostro Sánchez presented information about a network of companies allegedly linked to José Alfredo and Reymundo Hernández Casillas. According to the government data presented, companies related to the businessmen allegedly obtained contracts worth more than 2,646 million pesos.
The transactions under review involve awards made by local electoral public bodies known as OPLE. The investigation indicates that between 2014 and 2023 the companies obtained awards in 23 of the country’s 32 local electoral bodies, and that between 2024 and 2025 another 15 bodies allegedly awarded contracts worth 646 million pesos.
Buenrostro explained that authorities detected companies participating in separate procurement procedures that allegedly shared the same final beneficiaries. Matches in addresses and telephone numbers were also identified.
According to the official, some of the companies had no declared workers or allegedly failed to demonstrate the technical capacity needed to provide the services for which they were hired.
The Anticorruption secretary said the review was prepared using information available on the National Transparency Platform and Compranet Histórico, and clarified that the reported amounts could change as audits advance and new data are incorporated. No definitive conclusion about the responsibility of the individuals or companies named was reported at the conference, and it was not detailed whether any migration order or restriction related to the case exists.
The government’s position, as stated by Sheinbaum, is that Taddei and the Hernández Casillas brothers are presumed to remain in Mexico, though she considered it necessary to review the investigation and request the corresponding official information. Inquiries into the electoral contracts remain subject to verification by the competent authorities.
