Who is Álvarez Puga?
Víctor Manuel Álvarez Puga, together with his brother, founded the Álvarez Puga y Asociados firm, a legal consulting firm with a presence in Mexico, the United States, Europe and Central America, specialized in civil, legal and commercial matters.
He has been accused of his alleged participation in a network of ghost companies used to simulate contracts and divert public resources from the federal prison system, with an approximate amount of 3 billion pesos.
The Attorney General’s Office (FGR) identifies him as one of the main people responsible for this alleged organization, along with his wife.
The businessman was detained in the United States on September 24, 2025 by agents of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE), because he did not have a work visa, a tourist visa or any other document that supports his legal stay.
