Mexico judicial reform judge controversy intersects with Benítez Granados case

The modus operandi of Teófilo Benítez Granados is linked to controversy over the quality of judges and magistrates resulting from Mexico's Judicial Reform, pushed by former President López Obrador and approved without opposition from then-president-elect Sheinbaum. The reform, passed 15 days before the end of her term, raises concerns about judicial competence and integrity. This development highlights potential systemic weaknesses in Mexico's judiciary, which could affect legal certainty and investment climate.
