Stalled Pemex corruption probe advances with arrest of ex-director’s sister

Federal prosecutors arrested Gilda Susana Lozoya, sister of former Pemex director Emilio Lozoya, on money-laundering charges linked to bribes he allegedly received. The case against her began in 2019 with an initial arrest warrant in 2020, and she claims the prosecution is politically motivated. President Claudia Sheinbaum denied political motives, stating there is solid evidence against her.
