Mexico City, October 23.- The National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information, and Protection of Personal Data (INAI) has ordered the Tax Administration Service (SAT) to provide a public version of the complaints it has filed with the Attorney General's Office (FGR) involving members of its staff in possible acts of corruption.
During its session last week, the INAI reviewed a citizen request that had been rejected by the SAT, but found that not all its offices had been consulted to provide an adequate response.
The citizen petition stemmed from statements made last October by the then head of the SAT, Raquel Buenrostro, during a meeting with members of the Chamber of Deputies' Finance and Public Credit Committee.
Based on these statements, the INAI considered that such information should exist and can be made public, with the only limitations set forth in the Federal Transparency Law.
"The SAT must specify, in each case, the date it was filed; the name and position of the person(s) reported; the crime; the event or matter that warranted the report; the total property damage and/or amount involved; the status of the report; and the number of detainees and their current legal status."
