The house that belonged
to the Chinese-Mexican businessman, Zhenli Ye Gon, was sold yesterday at 102
million pesos [5,189,913] to the "Butaca Enlace" Foundation, headed
by the regional businessman Carlos Bremer.
The value of the luxury
property located in Lomas de Chapultepec exceeded the starting price of 95.4
million pesos, although it was far from the goal of 150 million.
In 2007, Ye Gon's residence was seized along with 205.5
million dollars in cash, as a result of the sale of chemical precursors to drug
cartels.
The sale was completed by telephone after a
six-minute bid in which seven potential buyers participated.
The "Butaca Enlace" foundation started in
2008 in Monterrey with the aim of supporting the best students of the ENLACE
test (National Assessment of Academic Achievement in School Centers).
The winning students attended professional football,
baseball and basketball games.
Given the success and with the support of President
Felipe Calderón, the program was extended nationwide and reached 75 cities.
Bremer has been an important supporter of Mexican
athletes.
ENLACE sounds like so much BS,
ReplyDeleteBut I don't do sports or academics, maybe these rich know something about their business, unlike Ana Guevara who quickly spent all of her budget and was demanding More from AMLO, ATHLETES AUPPRTED by the government are supposed to collect $204 000.00 PEISOS from this money, which could do more for more sports if it stops trying to create some kind of Mexican ROBOTHLETES, or Cyberchamps in an environment os International Steroid Champs.
Congrats
ReplyDeleteNeed to investigate such fundation; most in México are frauds that launder money funneled from government programs badly administrated. Specially coming from Monterrey, current governor is the biggest current crooked.
ReplyDelete1:49 la Mula Rodriguez is not as crooked as Rodrigo Medina who left behind almost nothing to steal, but he could steal the Cerro de la silla if La Mula finds a burro BIIIG ENOUGH.
Delete--Mexican politicos are suffering under AMLO, he won't part with the centabos, in the name of Saint Austerity, and keeps counting every penny. I am affraid of becoming a politician now.

ReplyDeleteThat house must have deteriorated during the time it sat on the market. Probably needs 15 million USD in repairs is only reason it would sell so low.
ReplyDeleteJust another enrichment technique perpetrated by a corrupt government that is backed by one of the cartels...
ReplyDeleteAny news on Zhenli? Is he back in Mexico now or did his team successfully fight extradition? This was an amazing story, all that cash stacked EVERYWHERE in his house. Absolutely amazing.
