more than a non-event?

LH498 (B744) was approaching MEX on 7th oct at 1835 local time under ATC control (App or Twr?) in a descent passing about 3500 ft AGL. They received a TCAS "climb" resolution caused by an intruder approaching from one side. FO as PF pulled up and the Captain as PNF informed ATC. Apparently ATC grunted back they should resume normal descent immediately. Crew ignored this and right than slightly below passed the Mexicaca A 320. even visible in poor vis.(haze or clouds or mixture of)
Obviously the local authorities considered this incident as a minor event not worth to be noted or reported. LH safety experts in MEX are trying to get more light into this incident.

These are highlights translated from the magazine DER SPIEGEL.
Rather reliable and close to other infos available to me.
