translated from Spanish: Government raises more than 78 mdp at last auction of year

The Institute to Return the People to the Stolen (Indep) raised 78 million 334 thousand 465 pesos after the auction held this weekend, money that will be allocated for populations and regions in high marginalization.
At this Monday’s morning conference, the owner of the Indep, Ricardo Rodríguez Vargas, detailed that a total of 109 lots were sold, including jewellery, aircraft, luxury vehicles and real estate.
The goods that were sold the most were jewels, with a total of 91 lots making a profit of 6 million 86 thousand 200 pesos. These resulted in an overprice of 3%.

While the seven luxury cars achieved an overprice of 63% and a gain of 28 million 685 thousand pesos.
Among the luxury units were brands such as Lamborghini, Aston Martin, McLaren 600 and Corvette, as well as armored vehicles, so buyers paid up to three times what was originally offered.
According to the Indep, the seven auctioned cars were seized from a hacker cell arrested last May in León, Guanajuato, while the jewels were secured at customs when they were attempted to enter the country illegally. Vehicles from the Presidency were also auctioned.
Two Gulfstream aircraft were also sold, achieving a gain of 26 million 713 thousand 200 pesos.
The rest of the total money was raised with the sale of real estate and other vehicles.

According to Ricardo Rodríguez Vargas, what obtained in the last auction will be intended for the construction of roads in the municipalities of La Yesca, Nayarit, and Ayarjea, Guanajuato.
This auction was the sixth and final in 2019. According to the Indep, as a result of these auctions, this year a total of 280.6 million pesos were obtained.
The Indep owner noted that all the pieces that were not sold in 2019 will be re-auctioned next year with new marketing strategies and with the aim of raising more for the benefit of those that have less.
