This affirmation comes after collecting information through a citizen attention table set up by the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing (Seduvi), in which they asked the inhabitants of Benito Juárez to report real estate that violates urban regulations, especially regarding to the limit of floors that can be built.
The capital government through the Comptroller General’s Office together with the Attorney General’s Office of Mexico City (FGJ-CDMX) has launched investigations against past and current officials of the Benito Juárez mayor’s office – governed by the PAN – for his alleged relationship with acts of real estate corruption.
“Corruption, is that it has no other explanation. When the land use says six floors there are other schemes where a little more is allowed in certain avenues, it is called exchange of potentialities, some schemes that the law and the norm allow.
“But in these cases of the investigation that is being carried out they have no legal basis, how does the land use say six floors and they build eight, they build nine, they build 10?”, said the president of the capital.
