Carlos Alberto Ulloa Pérez, general director of Laboratorios de Biológicos y Reactivos de México (Birmex), explained that he financed the purchase of two apartments valued at 22.4 million pesos with savings and inheritance.
Ulloa assured that the resources come from income, property sales, family inheritances, and savings accumulated over nearly three decades of work in the public and private sectors. The clarification was made on September 3, 2026, following the dissemination of data regarding his financial declarations and at least 19 international trips between April 2022 and April 2026.
The properties are registered in his financial declaration and are subject to review and auditing mechanisms. Ulloa completed the purchase of his first apartment on February 24, 2020, when he was the personal secretary of Claudia Sheinbaum, for 7 million 450 thousand pesos. The second was acquired on December 11, 2023, for 15 million pesos, while he was serving as secretary of Urban Development and Housing. In total, the acquisition of both properties amounted to 22 million 450 thousand pesos.
Criticism arose regarding the discrepancy between the cost of the properties and the income reported by Ulloa, who declared a maximum monthly salary of around 100 thousand pesos. To cover the cost of the second apartment, Ulloa would need to allocate more than 400 thousand pesos monthly just from his salary.
In his explanation, Ulloa detailed that his wealth is not limited to his salary, but also includes resources from property sales, inheritances from 20 years ago, and accumulated savings. His declaration also reports the purchase of furniture for 1.5 million pesos and an inheritance of jewelry valued at 1 million pesos.
Among the international trips taken, Ulloa has been to New York, London, and Brazil, among others. He justified that some were for public duties, including a trip funded by the World Bank. He stated that others were taken on days off and were personally financed.
Ulloa reaffirmed his commitment to legality and transparency in his financial declarations, emphasizing that all assets and income are available for institutional review.
