Alejandro Gertz Manero, former head of Mexico’s Fiscalía General de la República (FGR), has made public for the first time a detailed declaration of his assets following his transition to Mexico’s ambassador to the United Kingdom. The document, submitted on June 15, 2026, to the Secretaría Anticorrupción y Buen Gobierno as part of his obligations with the Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores (SRE), reveals a portfolio that includes 13 properties, luxury vehicles, jewelry, artworks, and investments both in Mexico and abroad.

Gertz Manero led the FGR from January 2019 until November 2025, a period during which his financial disclosures remained largely confidential due to the institution’s constitutional autonomy. His move to the diplomatic service now requires transparency, shedding light on the wealth accumulated during his tenure.

Among the reported assets are:
– Ten houses, one apartment, a plot of land, and a building, all registered under his name. Some properties were inherited, while others were purchased or transferred.
– Notable acquisitions include a house bought in 1996 for 2.34 million pesos, a U.S. residence acquired in 2007 through a $1.19 million mortgage from Chase Home Finance LLC, and a Madrid apartment purchased in December 2013 for one million euros. This last property had drawn public attention since 2022, when investigative reports revealed Gertz Manero’s ownership of Spanish real estate valued at approximately 113 million pesos, including homes in Madrid’s exclusive Los Jerónimos neighborhood and three properties in Ibiza managed via the company Feserinvest S.L.

The declaration also lists shares in Feserinvest S.L., as well as in Mexican companies Algerman Inmobiliaria S.A. de C.V. and Desarrolladora del Centro S.A. de C.V.

His collection of valuables includes:
– Jewelry, watches, and coins valued at 18.35 million pesos.
– Artworks appraised at 8 million pesos.
– Furniture, rugs, and books worth 2 million pesos.
These items are reported as inherited assets.

The vehicle collection features luxury and classic cars such as a 1994 Cadillac Concours, a 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL, and two Rolls-Royce models: a 1966 Sedan and a 2014 Wraith purchased outright in November 2020 for 2.7 million pesos. Additionally, he declared inherited vehicles including a 1972 Ford Galaxi, a 1982 Dodge Dart, and a 1994 Ford Lincoln.

Financially, Gertz Manero disclosed accounts and investments with institutions like HSBC, BBVA, Actinver, Scotiabank, Bankinter Spain, and Credit Suisse, with assets linked to Mexico, the U.S., and Spain. He also reported a mortgage credit originally valued at $576,882 with Chase Bank, alongside credit card debts.

Regarding income, the ambassador stated a net monthly salary of 196,220 pesos, with no additional earnings from business or advisory roles. In 2025, he declared net income of nearly two million pesos, including over 271,000 pesos from stock market returns.

This disclosure comes after years of scrutiny over his wealth, especially following the 2022 El País investigation. At that time, a spokesperson defended the legality of the acquisitions, confirming that the Madrid apartment was bought below market value due to its condition and that Gertz Manero obtained Spanish residency through this purchase.

The asset declaration also outlines his academic background: a law degree from Escuela Libre de Derecho and three doctorates in law from UNAM, Universidad de las Américas, and Mount Union College in Ohio.

Gertz Manero’s diplomatic appointment followed the Senate’s approval of his resignation from the FGR on November 27, 2025.
