On Thursday, July 2, 2026, the Fiscal\u00eda General de la Rep\u00fablica (FGR) detained Gilda Susana Lozoya Austin, sister of Emilio Lozoya, the former director of Petr\u00f3leos Mexicanos (Pemex), for her alleged involvement in the controversial purchase of the Agronitrogenados plant. <\/p>\n
The arrest took place near Mexico City\u2019s International Airport (AICM) in a coordinated operation with the Secretar\u00eda de Seguridad y Protecci\u00f3n Ciudadana (SSPC) and the Secretar\u00eda de Marina (Marina). <\/p>\n
According to the FGR\u2019s investigation, Gilda Susana is suspected of handling illicit funds as a beneficiary of \u201cTochos Holding Limited,\u201d a company linked to her brother Emilio Lozoya. Between June 12 and November 28, 2012, she reportedly received five large bank transfers from Altos Hornos de M\u00e9xico, owned by Alonso Ancira Elizondo, and subsequently distributed smaller amounts to various individuals. <\/p>\n
These transactions allegedly made her a beneficiary through the transfer of rights from Emilio Lozoya over a Swiss bank account tied to a shell company he controlled. Part of these funds were used to finance a residence in Mexico City valued at over 32 million pesos, which has already been seized under a final court ruling. <\/p>\n
At the time of these transactions, Emilio Lozoya was aware he would soon assume leadership of Pemex, raising questions about the intertwining of political power and financial misconduct. <\/p>\n
Gilda Susana Lozoya is now under the custody of the federal judicial authority that will determine her legal status. <\/p>\n
This case highlights ongoing challenges in Mexico\u2019s fight against corruption, emphasizing the need for transparent and accountable governance\u2014issues that resonate deeply with many Mexicans both at home and abroad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
