Hilda Trujillo Soto, director of the Diego Rivera Anahuacalli and Frida Kahlo museums from 2002 to 2020, has accused the trust managing these museums of serious mismanagement. Her allegations indicate that trustees disregarded evidence suggesting that artworks from Casa Azul might have been stolen and sold to collectors overseas. The INBAL responded, clarifying that no permanent export permits for Rivera or Kahlo's works were ever issued, underscoring their legal protection in Mexico. The trust was established by Rivera in 1955 to maintain the integrity of the collections.
