Inés Gómez Mont deportation request from Mexico, Digi Mart USA News (Florida, United States): Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office (FGR), headed by Ernestina Godoy, said it has exchanged information with United States authorities and has delivered three valid arrest warrants against former television host Inés Gómez Mont. She was detained October 30 in Florida while Mexico pursues her deportation.
Godoy Ramos said in a public statement that Mexico requested her provisional detention for extradition purposes from the United States in September 2025, when she said the former television host fled Mexico. She said that in recent weeks the FGR cooperated with U.S.
authorities through information exchange and the delivery of the court orders against her.
The FGR said her current detention is due to her immigration status and clarified that the decision on whether she is deported to Mexico rests with the United States. “If her deportation is determined, the Prosecutor’s Office will immediately execute the arrest warrants upon her arrival in Mexico,” the agency said.
According to the attorney general, investigations indicate that Gómez Mont allegedly received illicit funds in her personal bank accounts from a scheme of diverting and triangulating public funds through shell companies. The money allegedly came from the Decentralized Administrative Body for Crime Prevention and Social Rehabilitation, which oversees Mexico’s prisons, through contracts worth about 2.45 billion pesos.
The FGR also said the former host declared income lower than what she earned in 2014 and 2016, allegedly failing to pay more than 13 million pesos in taxes.
“These conducts are serious,” Godoy said, stressing that the funds were intended for the security of the prison system. She explained that shell companies simulate operations to divert public money and conceal its destination, while money laundering seeks to secure illegal private profits at the expense of the budget.
“Every peso diverted or not contributed is a peso that stops reaching the programs and actions that benefit millions of Mexicans,” she said.
The FGR acknowledged that Gómez Mont is presumed innocent and that Mexican courts must determine her responsibility through due process, while U.S. authorities evaluate Mexico’s request to deport her following her immigration detention.
