《联邦刑法典》第 100-115 条阐明了时效期限。大多数腐败犯罪的时效为三年, 其中部分犯罪的时效为七年或八年。对居住在墨西哥领土外的人而言,期限翻 倍(《联邦刑法典》第 101 条)。
The statute of limitations periods are set out in articles 100 to 115 of the Federal Criminal Code. Most corruption offences have a statute of limitations period of three years, while some are of seven or eight years. The periods are doubled for persons located outside Mexican territory (art. 101 of the Federal Criminal Code).
