Victims of Crime
Being the victim of a crime in a foreign country can be a devastating and traumatic experience. While no one can undo the emotional trauma, physical injury, or financial loss you may have experienced, Consular personnel can give you information about dealing with the immediate practical consequences of the crime as well as information about the criminal justice system in Mexico.
The information included in this section is primarily to help you in deciding whether to pursue the matter further in the Mexican judicial system. The information relating to the legal requirements in Mexico is provided for general information only and may not be totally accurate in any particular case. Questions involving interpretation or specific foreign laws should be addressed to foreign legal counsel.
Please contact the Consulate directly if you any questions or concerns.
