Published in Global Legal Insights

The 2026 Global Legal Insights Mexico chapter provides an updated analysis of the legal framework and enforcement practices for bribery and corruption, with a focus on regulatory changes, compliance challenges, and implications for domestic and international businesses.

Published on December 18, 2025, the Mexico chapter examines the country’s anti-corruption legal regime, including the Constitution, the National Anti-Corruption System, the General Law of Administrative Responsibilities, the Federal Criminal Code and related anti-money laundering laws. The analysis covers recent enforcement activity such as the implementation of the 2025–2030 Anti-Corruption and Good Governance Sectoral Program and institutional changes —including the appointment of a new head of the Financial Intelligence Unit— intended to strengthen prevention and enforcement efforts.

The article also highlights ongoing challenges in effective enforcement, the need for transparency in public procurement and inter-institutional coordination, and the importance of corporate compliance strategies in mitigating local and cross-border bribery risks.
