The Attorney General's Office (FGR) of Mexico announced the arrest of Jorge 'N', who served as the personal accountant for Emilio Lozoya, the former director of Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex). This arrest occurred on February 28 in Querétaro, supported by the Government's Security Cabinet. Jorge 'N' has been accused of possible involvement in tax fraud, specifically related to income tax declarations over several years, highlighting ongoing investigations into financial irregularities connected to Lozoya's leadership at Pemex.

The FGR has indicated that Jorge 'N' is being investigated for his actions related to income tax declarations from 2014 to 2018. These allegations form part of a broader inquiry into the financial dealings of Lozoya, who has faced scrutiny for various corruption-related accusations since his tenure at Pemex. The authorities reaffirmed that Jorge 'N' is presumed innocent until a competent judicial authority issues a conviction.

The implications of Jorge 'N's arrest are significant in the ongoing anti-corruption efforts in Mexico. The case could shed light on the financial misconduct within Pemex, which has been a critical issue given the state-owned company's importance in the national economy. As investigations continue, this could lead to further arrests and a deeper examination of the financial practices involving high-ranking officials in Mexico's energy sector.
