CDMX toughenes punishment for giving false testimony to incriminate people in criminal proceedings; sanctions could range from 3 to 10 years in prison

The Government of Mexico City has introduced reforms to Article 312 of the Federal Penal Code, increasing prison penalties for individuals who provide false testimony or reports with the intent to falsely accuse or clear someone during a criminal proceeding. Under the new decree, offenders could face three to seven years in prison if the related offense is not considered serious. If the false accusation pertains to a serious crime, the penalty increases to five to ten years in prison. The reform defines the prohibited behavior as making false declarations before the Public Prosecutor’s Office or judicial authorities with the purpose of improperly accusing or clearing someone in a legal process.
