MEXICO CITY (appro).–The house of the former head of the Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF), Santiago Nieto, and the electoral advisor Carla Humphrey cost 28 million pesos —and not 24 million as claimed—, was acquired with a loan granted by Banco Azteca, of Ricardo Salinas Pliego, according to the newspaper Reforma.
This was reported by the newspaper, who according to the data of the acquisition established in the Public Registry of Property and Commerce of Mexico City, indicated that the property located in a residential area of the Álvaro Obregón mayor’s office, was obtained through a loan from Banco Azteca, despite the fact that said bank does not offer mortgage loans.
“The operation occurred, according to the documents, to which Grupo Reforma had access, on November 30, 2020, which differs from what Nieto declared before the SAT, since he stated that he had acquired it on December 21 of that year ” , assured the medium.
It should be remembered that on December 6, the former head of the FIU assured that all his properties appear in his statements before the SAT.
On his Twitter account he issued a message: “There is nothing to hide. My debts increased, not my assets. The joint credit information I obtained is public and my wife and I will be paying it off for 20 years. Everything is declared before the SAT and before the SFP”.
“Regarding the properties, I tell you that these properties are declared in their declaration before the SAT and their patrimonial declaration before the Ministry of Public Administration. I also tell you that these properties were acquired by 20-year mortgage loan. It is worth mentioning that the apartment and the house in Querétaro are for rent, and a large part of the monthly loan is covered by the rent payment,” he said in a card sent to the Ciro Gómez Leyva program.
