  • Corruption: What is the 'Odebrecht case'?

Emilio Lozoya, former director of Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) accused of receiving bribes from Odebrecht, denounced former President Enrique Peña Nieto and Luis Videgaray , former Secretary of the Treasury, for their alleged participation in this corruption scheme and for authorizing bribes.

Alejandro Gertz Manero , head of the Attorney General's Office (FGR), reported in a video to the media that Lozoya formally told Peña Nieto and Videgaray to use 100 million pesos ($ 4.4 million) from the Odebrecht case to hire international advisers in the 2012 presidential campaign.

"The one who later became president (Peña Nieto) and his secretary of the Treasury (Videgaray) are the people that this individual who is filing the complaint indicates that they were the ones who ordered that money be delivered to various foreign electoral advisers," Gertz stressed. Manero.

In addition, already in the federal government, the former president and the former minister have allocated 120 million pesos (5.3 million dollars) to buy the vote of five senators and one deputy in favor of the energy reform, which opened the sector to private investment in 2013.
