La extinción de dominio en México: Reflexiones sobre la reforma de 2019

Abstract

The recent amendment to article 22 of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States brought new perspectives in the institution of the extinction of dominion in Mexico in terms of its nature, origin, exercise, application, rights and guarantees, as well as the control and administration of assets, all aimed at paying public security, limiting the financial capacity of criminal groups, as well as the strengthening of said institution legally;  In a first analysis, the meaning and scope of the Reformation originates certain reflections that are likely to dissipate with the forthcoming publication of the National Law on domain extinction, which repeals the Federal Law and the state laws on the matter; prior to this event, some considerations about the reformed figure emerge, which at the naked eye elucidate certain nuances that disorient the meaning of the reform and that seem dissociated with the current legal framework, however, with the passage of time the law, jurisprudence and practice will motivate perfection in said institution.
