The investigation is confirmed

On April 16, Santiago Nieto confirmed Luis Enrique Miranda is under investigation but didn’t provide further information.

Nieto explained that the government is not looking to imprison former government officials but to take the cases to tribunals and end with impunity.

In a meeting with lawmakers from the PT, Santiago Nieto said authorities have “filed lawsuits against Emilio Lozoya, there is an ongoing investigation in a case against Luis Miranda, and the President has told me that we must have a 0 tolerance policy for corruption and impunity.”

EL UNIVERSAL requested a comment from Enrique Peña Nieto and Miranda but didn’t receive a response.

Peña Nieto’s new life

After his presidency ended on November 30, 2018, Enrique Peña Nieto divorced Angélica Rivera and withdrew from public life. It was later revealed he is now in a relationship with model Tania Ruíz. He was last seen in public on September 18, when he wore a wig to feast on sushi along with Ruíz in New York.

Mexico's former President Peña Nieto with Tania Ruíz in New York

(You may recall in all corporate US news sources during Peña Nieto's first presidential campaign, they ALWAYS made a point, maybe the only point in noting how "photogenic" the candidate is. Not exactly a great reason to elect the slimy little so-and-so.)





PEÑA NIETO SPOTTED IN NEW YORK WEARING A WIG AND BASEBALL CAP
By Yucatan Times

The former president has been linked to several corruption cases including PEMEX purchase of Fertinal, and the so-called “master fraud“.

Enrique Peña Nieto and his girlfriend, Mexican model Tania Ruiz are said to be vacationing in New York.

And on the morning of Wednesday September 18th, a picture of them dinning at Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill went viral in which the former president can be seen wearing a wig during their dinner date.

Since his presidency and his marriage to actress Angélica Rivera came to an end, Peña Nieto embarked on a romance with Tania Ruíz Eichelman, a Mexican model from San Luis Potosí, Mexico.

Moreover, since the former president has been named in corruption scandals such as Fertinal and the Master Fraud, he has been seen vacationing abroad in cities such as Madrid, Brussels, and New York.

It is an insult to the people of Mexico, the fact that a former president who is involved in corruption cases for billions of pesos, and wanders around the world wearing stupid disguises, is not detained and duly investigated. This situation only raises suspicions that Peña Nieto could have negotiated amnesty with López Obrador to remain untouchable. The question is: if there was a negotiation, what is AMLO winning? Perhaps part of the loot…
