While the people of Sinaloa tighten their belts, the governor’s inner circle lines their pockets under the shadow of illegality.
136 MILLION PESOS! That’s the exorbitant and brazen sum for which the Mexican Tax Administration Service (SAT) has Rubén and Ricardo Rocha Ruiz, sons of Rubén Rocha Moya, under scrutiny. Official documents have been released, and there’s no way to hide the fraud: they used their company, “Constructora Chocosa S.A. de C.V.,” to create a network of tax avoidance that insults the intelligence of the citizens.
This is how this multi-million-peso fraud scheme operated:
PURCHASES FROM SHELL COMPANIES (EFOS): They diverted 12.4 million pesos directly to nine shell companies officially listed in the Federal Official Gazette. Names like Construcción y Diseño Nueva Era, Comercializadora Vigía del Pacífico, and Bechuma were used to simulate transactions and make money disappear.
THE CANCELLED INVOICE MAFIA: To completely evade taxes, the construction company systematically canceled invoices between 2015 and 2021 for a staggering 124.1 million pesos.
THE AUDACITY OF THE TAX ADDRESS: The company reported gross income of over 404 million pesos, but registered a modest social housing unit in Culiacán as its branch office. The Mexican Tax Administration Service (SAT) categorized it as “unverified.” What are they afraid of?
VAT TRICKS AND OMISSIONS: They simulated tax credits to demand illegal tax refunds, registering discrepancies of up to 91% in 2021. To make matters worse, they “forgot” to file 29 monthly tax returns with the authorities.
They’re in deep trouble. It’s not just the SAT that has them cornered in Mexico; US agencies are already formally investigating their finances and business dealings.
Their talk of honesty is over!
Let all of Sinaloa and all of Mexico know how they enriched themselves at the taxpayers’ expense.
