Döring expands complaint for 'fiscal huachicol'; requests Julio Scherer's appearance before the FGR

Federico Döring from the PAN has expanded his complaint regarding public officials' negligence in dealing with illicit hydrocarbon trafficking and has called for Julio Scherer to testify.

Federico Döring, the deputy coordinator of the PAN in Mexico's Chamber of Deputies, has taken steps to expand his previous complaint filed with the Fiscalía General de la República (FGR) against certain public officials. His complaints focus on allegations of omission and concealment regarding illicit hydrocarbon trafficking, which he terms 'huachicol fiscal.' Döring's initiative follows the release of the book 'Ni venganza, ni perdón,' in which it is suggested that the former presidential spokesperson, Jesús Ramírez, acted as an intermediary between Sergio Carmona, known as 'El Rey del Huachicol', and former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

Döring emphasized the importance of holding accountability and requested that Julio Scherer, the former legal advisor, be summoned to provide relevant information. According to the deputy, this testimony could establish links between Carmona, the illicit fuel trafficking, and Ramírez, thus potentially implicating higher levels of government in the wrongdoing. This move underscores an ongoing tension in Mexican politics, where opposition parties are actively seeking to investigate and challenge the activities of the current administration and its affiliates.

The implications of this case could be far-reaching, as it surfaces critical questions about governance and corruption in Mexico. By urging the FGR to take action, Döring's complaint could lead to deeper investigations into the ties between illicit activities and political figures, heightening scrutiny on the integrity of the current regime. Such developments may also affect public perception and trust in governmental institutions amid ongoing issues related to corruption, accountability, and governance within Mexico's political landscape.
