"Historical Background

    After gaining independence [1821], Mexican political leaders focused their attention on political organization, and criminal laws dating back to colonial times simply remained in force.  In 1835, the first criminal code to take effect in Mexico was enacted in the State of Veracruz.  During the French intervention (1864-1867), the government of Emperor Maximilian at first adopted the French criminal code; an effort by Maximilian to commission a new Mexican criminal code ended with his premature death.  Finally, in 1868, President Benito Juarez ordered the creation of a commission to draft a federal criminal code, which closely resembled the Spanish Criminal Code of 1870.

    The Criminal code of 1871 remained in force until the end of the Mexican revolution.  As mentioned above, the Constitution of 1917 included a number of provisions relevant to the application of criminal law, but as a result of the revolutionary turmoil, no progress was made with regard to enactment of a new criminal code until 1925, when President Plutarco Elias Calles named a commission to draft a criminal code for the Federal district and federal territories (Codigo Penal para el Distrito y Territorios Federales), which was published on 15 December 1929.  However, this draft code was heavily critized, and was never put into effect.

    Soon thereafter, President Emilio Portes Gil appointed a new commission, which produced the Federal Criminal Code that is in effect today.  This code, the Codigo Penal para el Distrito Federal en materia de fuero comun y para toda la Republica en material federal, or Federal Criminal code, was enacted on 13 August 1931 under President Otiz Rubio and went into effect on 17 September of that year.  Due to the highly centralized nature of the Mexican federal system, most state criminal codes and criminal procedure in Mexico were modelled on the Federal Criminal code and federal procedure laws…."
