November 21 was a day of celebration in the southern state of Tabasco, Mexico<\/a>: the regional government opened the doors of the Centenario Stadium so that the population could watch a live broadcast of the Miss Universe beauty pageant final, which was taking place in Thailand. Among the finalists was Fatima Bosch, a native of that state.<\/p>\n\n

F\u00e1tima Bosch<\/a>, daughter of an official at the state oil company Petr\u00f3leos Mexicanos<\/a>, was crowned the winner. Popular celebrations erupted and spread, with congratulations pouring in from Pemex and even Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n

But the joy was short-lived \u2013 rapidly followed by allegations and revelations of favoritism, corruption<\/a>, and organized crime involvement in the pageant.<\/p>\n\n

From favoritism to drug trafficking<\/h2>\n\n

Suddenly, a dark web emerged that, in the opinion of analysts, puts to the test the Mexican government\u2019s willingness and ability to confront sophisticated forms of organized crime involving public servants, private companies, the military, and cartels that conspired to defraud the state.<\/p>\n\n

The scandal began even before Bosch\u2019s victory: two of the eight jury members resigned, and one of them, French-Lebanese musician Omar Harfouch, criticized the selection of the 30 finalists on his Instagram channel as \u201ca major conflict of interest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

This caught the attention of the entertainment media, which then shone a spotlight on Mexican businessman Raul Rocha Cantu, co-owner of the Miss Universe organization. Rocha is an important and controversial businessman in Mexico, who has million-dollar contracts with Pemex. The trail led to evidence of his links to other previous scandals in a journalistic investigation into corruption in the awarding of public contracts. <\/p>\n\n

The surprises did not end there: shortly afterwards, authorities leaked that an arrest warrant against Rocha has been pending for a year, on charges of leading a drug, arms, and fuel trafficking network<\/a> between Mexico and Guatemala<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Resignation of the attorney general and a challenge for Sheinbaum<\/h2>\n\n

According to the press investigations, high-ranking officials and even members of the Attorney General\u2019s Office itself are involved in this network. Their revelations led to the resignation of Attorney General Alejandro Gertz<\/a>, whose nine-year term began in 2019 and was set to end in 2028.<\/p>\n\n

Analysts consulted by DW, Germany\u2019s international news agency, say the case puts the government of President Claudia Sheinbaum in a difficult corner. \u201cThis is not a classic case of corruption,\u201d warns Maria Amparo Casar, president of the organization Mexicans against Corruption and Impunity. \u201cThis is the second huachicol<\/a> network (illegal fuel trafficking<\/a> in Mexican slang) to be uncovered in a few months, following the case involving the Navy,\u201d she emphasized in an interview. <\/p>\n\n

She went on to offer three reasons that make fuel theft particularly serious: \u201cFirst, because of the high cost to the public coffers, with losses of over 500 billion pesos (US $27.4 billion); second, because the links between organized crime and various institutions and political figures are becoming apparent; and third, because of the complex mechanisms that had to be set up for this purpose, involving technology, logistics, and intelligence, which require the participation of many private and public figures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Eduardo Bohorquez, representative of Transparency International in Mexico, agrees. \u201cFuel trafficking is a global macro-criminal business,\u201d he tells DW. \u201cIt\u2019s not just petty corruption that takes money out of the state coffers, it\u2019s a tax fraud operation that is more difficult to detect.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

He further noted that transnational structures are needed to launder this money, such as \u201csponsoring a contest like Miss Universe, which can be injected with a lot of liquidity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Rethinking the strategy against crime<\/h2>\n\n

For that reason, Bohorquez, who holds a postgraduate degree in Development Studies from the University of Cambridge, UK, believes that Mexico needs to rethink its anti-corruption policy and focus much more on financial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n

According to the corruption specialist, the resignation of the attorney general, accused of using the Prosecutor\u2019s Office for personal gain and not collaborating sufficiently with the government, points to this: \u201cIt is an attempt to make the Public Prosecutor\u2019s office operational,\u201d Bohorquez believes.<\/p>\n\n

Maria Amparo Casar also believes that the new Attorney General, Ernestina Godoy, will foster better coordination between the Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office and the Ministry of Public Security, headed by Omar Garc\u00eda Harfuch<\/a>, in pursuing organized crime networks. But she warns that this does not mean crimes affecting the political class will be prosecuted. <\/p>\n\n

Both were officials in Sheinbaum\u2019s administration when she was head of government in Mexico City (2018-2023).\u201c<\/p>\n\n

\u201cKnowing the reality in Mexico, I doubt that this will be a watershed moment in the fight against corruption,\u201d affirms Casar. She recalled that seven years ago, Sheinbaum\u2019s predecessor and political mentor, former President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, decreed the death of corruption in Mexico. However, the scandals continued. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
