Mexico City. The Attorney General’s Office of Mexico City launched the course “Dogmatic Analysis of the Crime of Dispossession and its Impact on Legal Security of the Person,” aimed at strengthening the technical and legal capacities of its ministerial staff in the investigation of this crime.
The program, taught by the Institute for Professional Training and Higher Education (IFPES), seeks to provide Public Ministry agents with legal tools to more effectively handle dispossession cases. Topics include the constituent elements of the crime, its forms of commission, punishment, and completion, as well as related crimes, such as forgery or alteration of documents. The inauguration was attended by Jorge Emilio Iruegas Álvarez, General Coordinator of Strategic Investigation; Jorge Adrián Gómez Carreño, IFPES coordinator; and Roberto Garzón Jiménez, President of the College of Notaries of Mexico City.
“This model seeks to train analytical, critical, and proactive agents capable of translating knowledge into effective results. Spaces like this are essential to bringing justice closer to citizens and making it more effective against crime,” stated Iruegas Álvarez.
The course, which will be held in 15 in-person sessions, will feature 40 people from specialized prosecutors’ offices and 60 guests, who will receive training in civil law, notarial law, alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, and context analysis.
Gómez Carreño praised the leadership of Attorney General Bertha Alcalde Luján and emphasized that the training will allow for a deeper understanding of dispossession, protecting property rights and personal safety.
These actions are part of the Criminal Policy and Prosecution Plan and are in addition to the Strategy against Property Dispossession, promoted by the city government in coordination with the local judiciary.
For his part, Garzón Jiménez noted that dispossession “is not just a property issue, but a violation of the human right to housing,” and therefore requires a human rights and gender perspective to address.
