Sheinbaum says FIFA dinner transparency is complete, offers more info if needed

President Claudia Sheinbaum asserted that details surrounding a FIFA dinner at the historic Chapultepec Castle have been made public. She addressed concerns following reports that the Attorney General's Office (FGR) was investigating the event.

Sheinbaum clarified that the FGR's involvement began not with an official investigation, but with a complaint lodged by an INAH employee. "It's a complaint filed by an INAH professor, an INAH worker, and they are analyzing it, but it's not that the Prosecutor's Office has opened an investigation," she stated. She indicated that the FGR would examine the complaint to determine if any issues arise.

It has already been transparent, and if more is required, of course.

The president affirmed that her government would provide further information if needed, stating, "It has already been transparent, and if more is required, of course." This comes after reports that the INAH had classified documents concerning FIFA's payment of over one million pesos for the castle's use. The institute cited the ongoing FGR inquiry as the reason for withholding the information, suggesting its release could impede due process. INAH researchers had filed the complaint, arguing the rental potentially violated constitutional provisions and regulations protecting national heritage.
