A former governor of Aguascalientes has been sentenced to six years in jail for embezzlement and misuse of power but he won’t serve any time.
However, Luis Armando Reynoso Femat will be required to reimburse the public treasury by forfeiting bail of 12 million pesos.
The case was based on Reynoso’s instructions in 2008 that funds be provided to the state’s health institute for the purchase of a 13.8-million-peso scanner. But the scanner never materialized.
Its purchase from a company called Logística y Asesoría Comercial SA de CV was a simulation intended to divert the funds to a purpose other than what had been intended, according to the case against Reynoso.
He won’t serve jail time because he had obtained a court ruling providing him with protection from incarceration, known as an amparo. But he will have to forfeit his bail.
At least three other civil servants have also been linked to the crime. The former state treasurer, now a fugitive, is among them, as well as the former chief of the health institute, who spent four months in prison before being released on bail, and who died last year.
A less senior official was jailed in 2012 and was released in the middle of last year.
The former governor, a member of the National Action Party who held office from 2004 until 2010, will be required to pay restitution amounting to the difference between the bail amount and the value of the scanner.

Bottom line is no jail time, no fine, just pay back what he was convicted of embezzling (and his 12 million bond can be applied to the 13,800 million the government paid for scanner but never received. Just give back what you stole and you can go home. .

Sad it's ok to steal??????????????
ReplyDeleteSo Dr Meireles is in jail,
ReplyDeleteand this bastard is not.
This country sucks.
I wonder how much the judge collected in return for that ruling?
ReplyDeleteThat's just Dandy! Where can other citizens obtain this Amparo? A get out jail free card from monopoly. Citizens will need this when they forcefully remove the government Filth from their offices.
ReplyDeleteI live in Illinois, prob one of the most currupt states. But even we get things right time to time. Thats why we have 2 former governers in prison for corruption right now. This guy should be in jail, no excuses.
ReplyDeleteThe most corrupt governor in Illinois history, Jim Thompson, elected 3 times, cocaine took over chicago and the suburbs during his reign, using welfare, health and education funds to subsidize gangbangers criminal carers helped a lot, he was a republican in the 80s.the next was not much better, but george Ryan finally went to prison after bringing down the death penalty, his one good deed...son chingaderas..
DeleteI am from agüitas and I can't tell you how much I hate this guy , he ordered the killings of two elders in el tecuan Jalisco to take over their lands
ReplyDeleteWhere femat comes from?
DeleteFERMAT'S LAST THEOREM could be proved before governor femat's money is found. Please prove me wrong.
And please, no magic, voodoo or vultures passing for Cóndors...
connection, homes
ReplyDeleteWould be nice if someone posted an article of all the Mexican governors who have embezzled and commited other crimes and are not in jail. Btw, what ever happened to La Chucky speaking of embezzlement?
ReplyDeleteThe list may be too large. It would need to be in segments perhaps chonologically
Delete8:49 maybe a truck of EX-LAX or saline solution could help, I know that is a Lotta shit there, but be careful,
Delete"El Bertie Boy moreiro" has threathened to sue his detractors.
La chaky has two apartments worth 5 million dollars each, plus the boats and many houses on el DF, a federal senatorship for her daughter, a federal congress.an ship for her grandson or sompim and millions of dollars in the bank, she robbed for about 40 years,
ReplyDelete--former governor femat gets to keep 2 million pesos of the 14 million he stole, and they were worth about 12 pesos per dollar when he stole them, now he pays devalued pesos, worth about 8 million, BUT THIS IS NOT FEMAT'S ONLY FRAUD OR CRIME OR THE ONLY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS HE TOOK.
--His son "El Princeso" FEMAT also helped a lot...
Setting the example for others I see.
ReplyDeleteThis scum even smiles in its arrest photo👺
