Legal proceedings against Emilio Lozoya Austin

Overview

Legal proceedings involving former Pemex director Emilio Lozoya Austin have progressed through the Mexican Supreme Court of Justice regarding both asset forfeiture and criminal evidence.

In a civil matter, the Supreme Court issued a final, unappealable ruling to seize a mansion in Lomas de Bezares valued at 51.7 million pesos. The court dismissed Lozoya’s appeal, upholding a previous decision that the property was acquired using funds from an alleged bribe paid by Alonso Ancira, former owner of Altos Hornos de México. The seizure is based on allegations that the bribe was intended to facilitate the inflated purchase of the Agronitrogenados plant in 2013.

Separately, the Supreme Court has agreed to review a criminal appeal from the Attorney General's Office concerning the Odebrecht bribery scandal. The court is tasked with determining whether evidence provided by Swiss authorities can be reinstated in the legal proceedings after a federal judge had previously excluded it. The Attorney General's Office argues that the information was transmitted via the Criminal Legal Assistance Treaty with Switzerland and should be admitted without additional formalities.
