Timeline
Carlos Ímaz Gispert (born 1958) is a Mexican politician, academic, and activist and a founding member of the Party of the Democratic Revolution.
He has served as the Delegational Head of Tlalpan –a borough of Mexico City – as well as other positions.
Ímaz was born in 1958, and is the second son of Mexican mathematician Carlos Ímaz Jahnke and Montserrat Gispert Cruells, an ethno-botanical researcher.
His grandfather Eugenio Ímaz Echeverría was a Spanish philosopher.
Since 1984, he has been a professor at the National Autonomous University of Mexico.
In 1985, he graduated from the National Autonomous University of Mexico with a degree in Sociology and later earned a Doctorate in Education from Stanford University.
In 1986, he began a relationship with Claudia Sheinbaum.
They married the following year in 1987 and remained together until 2016.
Following a student movement in 1987, Ímaz became active in left-wing organizations, and in 1989, helped form the Party of the Democratic Revolution.
Between 1999 and 2002, he served as president of the PRD in the Federal District.
As party leader in Mexico City during the fourth state congress of the party, he is quoted as saying: "The Party of the Democratic Revolution will not tolerate the herding or buying of votes in the process of selecting a candidate for the head of government of the capital, which is to be carried out."
He urged party members to go into the streets and hunt down electoral fraudsters, from his party or any others.
In 2003, he was elected as the Delegational Chief in Tlalpan, a position he assumed in the same year.
On March 1, 2003, the finance secretary of the Federal District, Gustavo Ponce, was caught gambling in a casino in Las Vegas.
On March 3, 2003, René Bejarano, a local deputy of the PRD and president of the government commission of the legislative assembly, was filmed receiving $45,000 from businessman and government contractor Carlos Ahumada.
Within 48 hours of René Bejarano's video release, Ímaz, then Delegational Chief in Tlalpan, simply said, "Me too...," admitting he had been part of the scandal.
In an interview on March 5, 2003, with journalist Carmen Aristegui, Ímaz stated that the money received was for "cazamapaches" (Raccoon Hunt) brigades organized to combat electoral fraud, which are common in Mexico.
He also acknowledged financial contributions from Carlos Ahumada for the campaigns of Rosario Robles and for his own pre-campaign when he was running for Delegational Chief.
He described Carlos Ahumada as a blackmailer and mercenary, who later demanded directorship positions in departments and administrations managed by the delegation, which Ímaz says he refused.
This refusal, however, strained relations with Rosario Robles.
Ímaz claimed it was all a plan to discredit the head of the Federal District, Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
On March 8 Ímaz was videotaped receiving 350,000 pesos and by March 15,he stepped down from public office on leave to face the charges.
Ímaz claimed the money he received was for the presidential campaign of the PRD candidate Rosario Robles, and he also claimed the money was used fund groups defending the PRD vote.
In an interview with La Jornada, he says he received money from Ahumada without conditions, but Ahumada later attempted to install two loyalists into the administration under his charge, which Imaz refused.
However, five months after taking office in March 2004, a series of scandals known as the video scandals began to surface in Mexico.
The scandals implicated politicians and other public servants in embezzling large sums of money for personal use.
On August 24, 2004, Judge XI of the Criminal Court of the North Prison, Carlos Morales, declared Ímaz criminally responsible for electoral crime, stating that the Attorney General's Office of the Federal District had provided sufficient evidence against him.
Judge Morales sentenced Ímaz to three years and six months in prison, and suspended his political rights.
However, due to the electoral nature of the crimes and the inability of the court quantify everything and other issues with the offense imprisonment term length, the penalty was changed to a fine of 100,000.00 pesos.
Ímaz then paid the fine and filed an appeal against the sentence without spending any time in jail.
On December 15, 2004, Ímaz was exonerated by three magistrates of the fourth criminal chamber of the superior court of justice of the Federal District.
They specified there was no evidence to establish criminal responsibility.
Ímaz also provided evidence in court that contributed to the acquittal of René Bejarano.
In the case against Ahumada, Carlos Ímaz was called as a witness.
On March 20, 2004, Carlos Ahumada attempted to reverse the situation by federally denouncing Ímaz and Bejarano for extortion, basing the complaint on his own testimony and those of his business partner, his secretary, and Gustavo Ponce, This complaint did not proceed.
On March 6, 2004, Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas at the national council of the PRD, spoke out against the acts of corruption by party members.
Regarding Carlos Ímaz, he stated that Ímaz should resign from his position as delegate of Tlalpan.
On March 8, 2004, the plenary of the national executive committee (CEN) of the PRD, with a pre-made decision, determined the start of the procedure for the suspension of guarantees, anticipating a possible expulsion from the party, which did not occur.
On April 21, 2004, the then head of Government of the Federal District, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, characterized it as reprehensible and condemnable that René Bejarano Martínez received money from businessman Carlos Ahumada.
Unlike Rosario Robles, Ímaz refused to resign from his party.
