“Although in Mexico it is not yet known how much progress the Emilio Lozoya case has made and if the Attorney General’s Office has managed to prove some of the accusations made by the former director of Pemex to various politicians of the PRI, PAN and former PRD members who Today they are active in Morena, some of the defendants in that process do not think to wait until January 2021, when the deadline that the FGR asked the judge to investigate and prove Lozoya Austin’s accusations expires, to protect themselves legally and physically from a possible folder judicial against him.
That is the case of the former Secretary of Finance of the Peñista administration, Luis Videgaray, who is one of the main accused by Lozoya and also one of those who are most attentive to what happens with the investigations of the FGR. Videgaray must have learned something, through his lawyers, that very close sources say that the one who was the strong man of Peña Nieto has decided to leave his current job at MIT, as director of the World Project on Artificial Intelligence Policies, to search refuge and residence in Israel, a country where he would try to protect himself from a possible extradition to Mexico due to the complicated and demanding nature of the Extradition Treaty between the two countries, “García Soto wrote then.
“Despite the fact that Videgaray had just received in September the full support of the directors of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who gave him their support to remain at the institution, after the request of a group of students who demanded that he be given Withdrawal from the academic staff of the institution due to the alleged acts of corruption he committed as a public servant, the former Mexican Foreign Minister seems to have chosen to seek protection against an eventual arrest warrant by the FGR and for this he chose Israel, himself The country where the former director of the Criminal Investigation Agency of the PGR, Tomás Zerón, fled, on whom an extradition request from the Mexican government to Tel Aviv already weighs.
