The singing has begun from Emilio Lozoya, who informed the federal government that he paid bribes of 52 million 380 thousand pesos to PAN legislators, to approve reforms of the ‘Pact for Mexico’.

The then President Enrique Peña and the Secretary of the Treasury, Luis Videgaray, directly led the strategy.

According to his statement, Videgaray asked him to send 6.8 million pesos [apx 270k usd] to Ricardo Anaya.

Anaya, of PAN,  was president of the Chamber of Deputies when the energy reform was discussed, from 2013 to March 2014, and in May of that year he assumed the position of PAN general secretary.

That money would have been delivered on August 8, 2014, to a person, whose identity has not been specified, although he made it known that there are two telephone numbers with which there was communication to make the delivery.
