The statutes implementing the National Anticorruption System (\u201cSNA\u201d) in Mexico were officially published on July 18, 2016. The SNA consists of three new statutes and amendments to six existing statutes.<\/p>\n
At the core of the SNA is the General Administrative Responsibilities Law which will enter into force on July 19, 2017. This unprecedented piece of legislation was born as a citizens\u2019 initiative that gathered the required signatures to be debated before the Federal Congress. This statute, popularly known as \u201c3 de 3\u201d creates, among other things, an evolved anticorruption environment for private parties: it introduces compliance programs, better delineates corrupt practices, details liability for companies and their directors and regulates investigation procedures and leniency programs.<\/p>\n
The SNA legislation also means an enhanced supervisory, enforcement and accountability framework. A Coordination Committee (chaired by a private citizen) will oversee the implementation of the SNA. A new Special Division of the Federal Attorney General\u2019s Office will investigate and prosecute the new catalogue of crimes of corruption. The Federal Court of Administrative Justice, through Specialized Chambers, will be in charge of the administrative enforcement of anticorruption regulations. The Superior Auditor of the Federation will be in charge of a stricter audit function of government accounts.<\/p>\n
There are various relevant dates for full deployment of the SNA reform, including the one year term afforded to States for implementing an analogous local and coordinated system.<\/p>\n
