The controversial house of JOsé Ramón López Beltrán, son of Andrés Manuel López Obradorcontinues to talk about and is that despite the fact that the wife, Carolyn Adams, said that she rented the house with all formality and under the rules of the United States, Mexicans Against Corruption and Impunity (MCCI) has other data.
In a statement, the civil organization reported that the rent of the property was not registered in the Texas real estate system.
“If they rented the house, they have to declare in the HAR system, which is the system used by agents in Houston,” a real estate agent licensed to operate in Texas told MCCI.
After the finding about the null relationship with the US real estate system, this could mean that the operation was carried out outside, between individuals, that there was no rent payment or contract relationship involved.
A few days ago, a former Baker Hughes executive quoted for leasing his house in Houston to AMLO’s eldest son He assured that he had no prior knowledge of who the tenant was.
Keith Schillingwho worked for Baker Hughes between 2016 and 2019, spoke publicly for the first time about his involvement, via an emailed statement to Bloomberg News.
His home was vacant and available for rent after Schilling moved to run the oilfield services giant’s Canada business, he said.
“I had no previous relationship, personal connection or familiarity with the tenant or the tenant’s family no way,” Schilling stressed. “In any of my roles at Baker Hughes, I had no responsibility for any business activity related to or in Mexico.”
In addition, several shareholders of the American company requested to investigate a potential conflict of interest and irregularities.
This is because Baker Hughes has contracts with the AMLO government for more than 151 million dollars in works for Petroleros Mexicanos (Pemex).
“These facts create the perception of a possible conflict of interest and a potential scenario that could have crossed the line of the legal and ethical obligations ofe Baker Hughes. For this reason, a complaint is justified and an investigation is necessary”, reads the letter that the company’s lawyer, Juan Carlos Luna, sent to the Department of Justice.
