### Audit Office Pursues 80 Complaints Against Previous Administration
Tijuana – The Audit Office of the local government has uncovered 80 allegations of alleged mismanagement and irregularities from the previous municipal administration. These details were disclosed by Teresita Balderas Beltrán, the city auditor, who emphasized that December 6 marks the deadline for the 45-day period dedicated to the handover of roles and auditing of accounts.
Balderas Beltrán highlighted the importance of examining each complaint to determine their validity. The potential summoning of previous administration officials for questioning regarding these issues has not been ruled out. “Once we have completed the investigation of each complaint, they have the right to come forward, as it is their right of reply,” she stated.
The ex-mayor, Montserrat Caballero Ramírez, may also be summoned for an investigation concerning a property reportedly linked to her. The allegations originated from council members of the PAN party, and the Audit Office is tasked with compiling and evaluating these complaints. Should any public servant be required to provide clarification, they will be notified in accordance with legal standards, Balderas Beltrán assured.

Besides handling complaints from the previous administration, the audit office is currently reviewing a ruling against the municipality involving 300 million pesos. Additionally, there are ongoing assessments regarding possible irregularities in the awarding of the boardwalk project at Playas de Tijuana. This heightened scrutiny reflects a broader effort to ensure accountability and transparency within local governance.
