Promulgation Of The Reforms Creating Mexico's National Anticorruption System

On May 27, 2015, Mexico's Executive Power published several amendments to the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States in the Official Federal Gazette, creating the National Anticorruption System ("Anticorruption System"). The purpose of these amendments is to allow several government agencies to coordinate the prevention, detection, investigation, and sanctioning of public servants, individuals, and companies that participate in acts of corruption.  

The Anticorruption System will be coordinated by a Coordination Committee formed by theheads of the Superior Auditor of the Federation, the Specialized Prosecutor's Office to Combat Corruption, the Ministry of Public Administration, the Federal Administrative Justice Tribunal, and the Transparency, Access to Information, and Data Protection National Institute. In addition, one representative from the Judicial Council and one from the Citizens' Participation Committee will serve on the Coordination Committee.
