Alfredo Adame was convicted of discrimination and ordered to pay a fine of 67 mil 628 pesos, along with 33 hours of community service, after a judge ruled against him in the case tied to comments against Gustavo Adolfo Infante’s mother. The sentence gives the dispute a formal punishment now, but it also guarantees another round before a higher court.
Gustavo Adolfo Infante said he was not satisfied with the decision and would appeal, arguing that there were grounds for a harsher penalty. He said the defense would push for the maximum punishment for the crime of discrimination, which in this case is 3 years in prison. That makes the next step more than a procedural move; it is the part of the case that could determine whether this ruling stands as the end of the matter or only a pause.
The conflict dates back to 2020, when Adame made statements against Elvia Inés Seañez, who was 85 years old when the complaint was described. Infante later ratified the criminal complaint before the Fiscalía General de Justicia de la Ciudad de México in February 2022, and by December 2022 he said Adame had already been linked to proceedings for the alleged crime of discrimination. The case then moved through the courts for months before the sentence reported now was handed down.
That long path matters because the punishment is specific but limited: a financial penalty and community service, not the prison term the defense now says should be sought. Adame was also arrested on 14 June 2024 in El Torito for six hours, a separate moment that kept the dispute in public view while the legal process continued. The appeal now shifts the fight to a higher court, where the sentence can be reviewed and, if the defense gets its way, made more severe.
For Adame, the ruling is already a conviction on the record. For Infante, the case is not over until a sala says otherwise.
