MEXICO CITY - Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador made his boldest move yet to root out entrenched corruption by going after one of his predecessor’s closest aides, a former chief of state oil firm Pemex, for alleged bribery, tax fraud and other crimes.
The case is the first high-profile corruption investigation launched by Lopez Obrador against the government he replaced on Dec. 1 after a landslide victory. Nieto, the attorney general’s office and even Lozoya’s lawyer, Javier Coello, could not confirm if an arrest warrant had been issued. “One of the charges is related to payments that Mr. Lozoya received from resources that come first from Altos Hornos de Mexico to an Odebrecht subsidiary and then from Odebrecht to his relatives,” said Nieto.Non-government organization Mexicans Against Corruption said Lozoya bought a 1,165-square-meter home in the upscale Mexico City neighborhood of Las Lomas for $2.9 million, the same amount he and his sister were allegedly wired in Dec. 2012 from Switzerland by Odebrecht.
Citing documents from Brazil’s Supreme Court, Quinto Elemento said AHMSA made three wire transfers to Grangemouth Trading Co’s account weeks after the steel company announced the controversial sale of the fertilizer plant to Pemex.
