On July 16, 2025, a comprehensive reform to the Federal Law for the Prevention and Identification of Operations with Illegally-Sourced Funds (LFPIORPI) was enacted, introducing new definitions, obligations, sanctions, and supervisory powers, as well as amendments to the Federal Criminal Code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF) announced that it will carry out a technological update of its online platform from August 1 to August 15, 2025. During this period, acknowledgments (acuses) of Notices and Reports submitted by those carrying out Vulnerable Activities under Article 17 of the LFPIORPI, as well as updates in their registration process, will not be generated as promptly as usual. These acknowledgments will be issued as of August 16, 2025, respecting the original submission date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is it important?<\/strong>
The reform strengthens Mexico’s anti-money laundering legal framework by expanding the catalog of vulnerable activities, imposing greater identification and monitoring obligations on obliged entities, including trusts and corporations as directly responsible parties, and granting broader sanctioning powers to the Ministry of Finance, the UIF, and other authorities. It also toughens administrative and criminal sanctions, lowers the threshold for identifying beneficial owners, and establishes a risk-based approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UIF portal update may also impact the timely management of procedures and compliance with legal deadlines, so it is recommended to review acknowledgments as of August 16 and, in case of rejection, resubmit the information within the established deadlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who should be informed?<\/strong>
All individuals and legal entities engaged in vulnerable activities; public notaries; trusts; corporations; as well as compliance, anti-money laundering, administrative, criminal, and regulatory departments of companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendation:<\/strong>
It is advisable to carry out a comprehensive regulatory review<\/strong> to ensure compliance with both the new obligations arising from the LFPIORPI reform and the operational updates announced by the UIF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincerely:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
