The message is clear, in Mexico there will be no room for fiscal simulation or for impunity,” said the official before deputies when discussing the economic package 2026.
He explained that for the moment it is difficult to prospect how much could be recovered by fiscal huachicol to approve the proposals for the reform of the Treasury. “It will depend on the efficiency and effectiveness of our strategic litigation and our joint actions that, I want to be optimistic, we will have to improve those figures. Already with everything that they have made us please cooperate from the legislative power with the relevant reforms, because we would have to improve, obviously,” Galeano García added.
For the following year, the Executive proposes reforms to the Fiscal Code of the Federation (CFF) and the Customs Law to harden the measures against fiscal huachicol, and also against the issuance of false invoices, among which the preventive detention stands out.
