The network of companies inflated prices, simulated competition, and violated procurement laws under political protection

An SAT audit revealed multimillion-dollar contracts between Sedena and companies linked to Carlos Prats García, a close associate of Senator Adán Augusto López. The firms Avacor and Grupo Servicorvel obtained at least 32 contracts worth more than 1,100 million pesos (2,425,085 pounds). They mainly acquired uniforms, tactical equipment, and berets for the Army and the National Guard.

These companies inflated costs up to threefold, simulated competition among themselves, and violated bidding regulations. In addition, they purchased products inChina, even though the law requires importing military equipment only from countries with current treaties. This favoritism network demonstrates a clear pattern of corruption and influence peddling that has emerged from Morena's ranks.

SAT detects accounting irregularities and suspicious transfers

The SAT's tax investigation uncovered serious inconsistencies such as unregistered bank transfers, false tax addresses, and omission of income. As a result, tax credits of nearly 27 million pesos (59,525 pounds) were imposed and accounts associated with these companies were frozen.

Other companies, such as Bercale Services, also linked to Prats, are facing thorough audits. Their accounting records show gaps and inconsistencies. This has forced SAT to review contracts, invoices, and transactions. The tax situation of these companies contrasts with the widespread impunity in other cases with less evidence.

A web of favors and impunity

The network of favored companies involves hierarchies close to Adán Augusto López in Tabasco, a relationship that dates back to his time as governor. The preferential treatment of Prats demonstrates a systematic pattern of awarding contracts without fair bidding in a sector as sensitive as defense.

These practices are not isolated, but are part of a strategy by Morena to control the military through contracts, expand its clientelist network, and finance political operators. The growing scandal exposes the party's hypocrisy, which promised transparency but governs with discretion and opacity.

Real actions and sanctions or a simulation?

Although Sedena justified the contracts by claiming public bidding, the evidence of overpricing and simulated competition contradicts that version. The Superior Audit Office of the Federation has also documented overpricing of up to 30% and late deliveries.

The key question is whether there will be real consequences. So far, despite tax credits and account freezes, no one has been sanctioned. The circle of corrupt individuals continues to operate unchecked, while the State remains complacent.
