The impact of a first major anti-corruption drive by Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador spread deep into the political class on Wednesday as the probe threatened to involve top officials in the last government, including the president.
MEXICO CITY — The impact of a first major anti-corruption drive by Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador spread deep into the political class on Wednesday as the probe threatened to involve top officials in the last government, including the president.
Noting that the ministries of finance, economy and energy all sit on the company's board, Lozoya's attorney Javier Coello said the government had to sign off on whatever Pemex did. Arrest warrants for other suspects have also been issued and Coello said Lozoya's Mexico City home had been raided. The 44-year-old has always denied wrongdoing and defended the fertilizer business acquisitions as a wise investment.
The official, Santiago Nieto, said the case had links to Odebrecht, whose executives have testified about bribes to politicians across Latin America.
