In September 2021, an arrest warrant was issued against the television presenter. Inés Gómez Mont and her husband Víctor Manuel Álvarez Puga, for crimes of organized crime, corruption, use of false invoices and tax fraud. Since then, the couple remained a fugitive from justice.
Today, October 27, 2025, it was announced that Álvarez Puga, “invoicing” businessman, is detained in a processing center in Florida, United States, after having been detained on September 24 by agents of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE) for his irregular situation in EU.
Together with his brother, he is founder of the firm Álvarez Puga y Asociados which, according to its portal, “is made up of a group of highly qualified professionals, with a career full of incredible results.”
The firm calls itself a leader in legal consulting, highlighting its presence in Europe, the United States and Central America in civil, legal and commercial services.
Víctor Manuel has been accused of participating in a network of ghost companies, also known as “invoicing companies”, which were used to simulate contracts and divert public resources of up to 3 billion pesos. The alleged fraudster is in the Florida Krome North Service Processing Center migrant detention center.
This is Álvarez Puga’s modus operandi
On January 20, 2022, the Attorney General’s Office of the Republic (FGR) detailed the billing and public procurement simulation scheme that Víctor Álvarez Puga used to divert money.
The FGR investigation began in November 2019 against the businessman, Inés Gómez Mont, Edgardo Mauricio “V”, Rosario “A”, Margarita “C”, Ricardo “P”, Mauricio “R” and seven companies allegedly involved in organized crime.
The Prosecutor’s Office stressed that all the accused probably colluded to simulate operations and provide resources to their criminal organization, lowering tax burdens and hiding operations, making it difficult to trace the resources.
To comply with these deviations, they allegedly entered into various contracts with the Deconcentrated Administrative Body for Prevention and Social Readaptation of the Ministry of the Interior (Segob), when the owner was the former PRI member Miguel Ángel Osorio Chong, between 2012 and 2018.
According to the FGR, they used digital tax receipts on the Internet to cover up false operations and pretended to be acts of commerce and provision of services that were not carried out, in order to launder money, disguising the crime with profits that were non-existent.
The organization, according to the investigations, was in charge of Álvarez Puga and Inés Gómez Mont, who worked with alleged company representatives.
