Judicial Body Holds Norma Piña Responsible for Territorium Life Contracts; Denies Current Dealings

Mexico's Judicial Administration Body (OAJ) has assigned responsibility to Norma Lucía Piña Hernández, the former president of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN), for contracts awarded to Territorium Life. The company is currently under investigation due to failures during the online application process for UNAM's admission exam.

This development follows a report by EL UNIVERSAL detailing that the former Federal Judicial Council (CJF), an entity that no longer exists, granted Territorium Life at least three contracts totaling 50.3 million pesos. These contracts were for the supervision of remote tests in judicial career competitive examinations.

In a concise statement, the OAJ asserted that it currently holds no contracts with Territorium Life. It clarified that any prior agreements were signed by the defunct CJF, presided over by Piña Hernández, who is now a retired minister.

The OAJ emphasized that since its establishment on September 1, 2025, it has not entered into any contracts with Territorium Life. Consequently, the Judicial Branch of the Federation has disassociated itself from any connection with the company facing scrutiny.
