CDMX.- The defense of Emilio Lozoya outlines a reparation agreement in the trial against the former director of Pemex for money laundering.
Yesterday, at the intermediate hearing for the Agronitrogenados case, Lozoya’s lawyers proposed an agreement in which his client would leave the North Prison and the arrest warrants against his relatives would be cancelled.
“This defense requested that the reparation agreement and the criteria of opportunity be carried out, through an agreement, setting as a condition that the amount indicated by the institutions of 10.7 million dollars be maintained.
“And as a second condition, that the people who benefit from the agreements and the agreement, within the framework of the opportunity criteria, are Emilio Lozoya and the three women in the family: his mother, his sister and his wife,” said the lawyer. Miguel Ontiveros, after the hearing at the Criminal Justice Center.
The lawyer trusted that it will be a matter of days for said agreement to be signed.
In addition, he said, there is evidence that points to former President Peña Nieto as the person responsible for the operation in the cases for which his client is accused, for which reason he should be called to testify.
In the morning, when questioned at the National Palace, the Secretary of the Interior, Adán Augusto López, affirmed that a reparation agreement must be fair for the affected parties.
