The operation spanning several fiscal years is being investigated due to possible crimes that may have been committed. José Antonio Marín and Víctor Manuel Velázquez, who proclaim themselves as the true owners of the cooperative, demand the handover of the Tula plant and allegedly bought invoices to cover up supposed fraudulent actions.
Additionally, they have been reported for the diversion of 80 billion pesos, the dispossession of the corporate building in southern CDMX, and three cement plants in Oaxaca, Puebla, and Aguascalientes, as well as allegedly having ordered the assassination of opposing cooperativists.
According to the Federal Tax Code, they could face legal consequences for concealment and tax fraud. In 2020, they hired the services of a phantom company to conduct a tax audit for an amount of 23 million 100 thousand pesos plus VAT, which issued questionable tax receipts.
The members of the cooperative's Board of Directors could be charged with crimes such as the issuance of false tax receipts and tax fraud. There is a demand to initiate investigations to clarify the facts, identify those responsible, and apply the corresponding legal sanctions.
Since they took over the administration in a questionable manner, they are accused of denying benefits to members who did not submit to their decisions. An affected member even sold his house to cover medical expenses after being abandoned by Marín and Velázquez.
Following the filing of complaints, it is expected that investigations will deepen to determine the veracity of the facts and that justice will be served to protect the interests of those affected.
