Political strategists recommend hiring candidates not to emphasize their promises to fight corruption.

They explain that, in the social imagination, the word corruption is recorded next to the name of the candidate for the popular election position and that, now in which he goes to cast his vote at the polls, he does not vote for that candidate whom he identifies. as corrupt.

Thus, those who promise to end corruption turn out to be even more corrupt.

Here we have countless cases. From Enrique Peña Nieto who, together with Carlos Salinas, turned out to be one of the three most corrupt presidents the country has ever had, after Miguel Alemán Valdés, to the third who is the one who currently enjoys federal power: Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

It was precisely because AMLO committed to sweeping the stairs of corruption from top to bottom that many of us voted for him in 2018, fed up with the scandals of the gang headed by EPN and his two main henchmen, Luis Videgaray and Miguel Ángel Osorio Chong.

The damned and looting tolucopachucracia , as we call it here.

They compromised and the three left with ease, as their predecessors have left.

They blamed the governors who paid them part of the loot they demanded. And that’s how they are in prison, some; about to leave her, another; and chained to a hospital bed, one more. Javier Duarte, Roberto Borge and César Duarte, respectively, among others.

But let’s go back to today.

It is precisely Miguel Alemán with whom AMLO should be compared.

The first made multi-million-dollar businesses with his friends.

The second with his children and other relatives.

Torquemada Region 4T denounced.

The bad example spreads.

And so, Santiago Nieto, who at the beginning of the current failed Administration served as head of the Financial Intelligence Unit of the SHCP, has once again been reported to the Prosecutor’s Office of the consenting Alejandro Gertz for alleged money laundering.

Nieto would have committed such a crime while he was the holder of the UIF.

While he persecuted businessmen, academics, and politicians from previous administrations.

Two faces. And many, many coins.

Santiago Nieto allegedly created, together with his now brother-in-law, Sergio Eduardo Humphrey — brother of his current spouse, Carla Humphrey, electoral advisor at the INE — a network of “invoicing” companies, according to a complaint filed only by lawyer Roberto Coello Zuarth , of his father’s office, the not long-known Iron Prosecutor, Javier Coello Trejo.

“For more than two years we have documented different cases involving Santiago Nieto, cases that reflect an illicit relationship with billing companies from which he benefited when he was the holder of the UIF. “The person in charge of preventing an operation with a resource of illicit origin was at the same time carrying out this type of operation in his building,” said Roberto Gil Zuarth in a video that was made public on social networks in which he is seen accompanied by Coello Trejo.

He added that acts of extortion were documented against journalists, businessmen and politicians, due to the threat of an alleged investigation by the UIF who were compromised with complaints and violations of their freedom.

All this would explain the sudden enrichment of the divorced Nieto, who must pay alimony, but who also goes shopping with a wallet full of bills.

Where from so much money, Santiago?

Colleague Roberto Zamarripa explained it in a note in the newspaper Reforma, a little over two years ago:

“In December 2020, Santiago Nieto went shopping. On the day of the Virgin of Guadalupe, the 12th, he went to Liverpool and bought a bedroom for 46,577 pesos; He also bought a refrigerator and a television for an amount of 57,031 pesos.

“He already had a living room worth 36,775 that he bought on May 14 at Muebles Detaglio and a dining room that he bought right there on July 20 for 57,031 pesos, if he doesn’t lie in his asset declaration.

“The house was missing. And he found a mansion south of Mexico City with a surface area of ​​699 square meters and a construction area of ​​519 square meters.

“An imposing building built by the famous architect Manuel Parra whose original owner was a former Mexican financial official, later it housed business offices managed by his children and is now the new home of Santiago Nieto and his wife Carla Humphrey.

“The two-level colonial-style quarry house, which according to the purchase offer has four bedrooms, five bathrooms, two half-bathrooms, three parking spaces, an exceptionally large garden, is impressive. Luxury for a newcomer to the 4T.

“Nieto closed the contract on December 21, 2020. Although his asset declaration disclosed by himself does not include the amount paid or the amount of credit obtained, Nieto assures that he spent 24 million pesos on his new residence.

“Tax documents consulted by Grupo Reforma indicate, however, that the selling party declared to the treasury that it had obtained twenty-eight million five hundred thousand pesos for that operation. In the advertisements for its sale, the house was offered at thirty million pesos.”

Nieto also owns a house in his native Querétaro acquired in 2019 and valued at one million six hundred thousand pesos; an apartment in Santa Fe, worth eight million six hundred thousand pesos, and one more house bought before the start of the fateful Q4 that would have cost just over 6 million pesos.

He likes collecting property receipts!

As well as cars, jewelry and works of art.

“To the thief, to the thief!” Nieto shouted, while he allegedly laundered money resulting from blackmail.

Indications

Do you remember that, at the beginning of his fateful six-year term, AMLO invited Central and South Americans to come to the country, who would give them all the facilities and protection to cross “to the other side”? Well, they accepted. They came in caravans. On your own. Hundreds of unaccompanied children. In the south they were repressed, after the government negotiated with Donald Trump to deploy 28,000 soldiers on both borders. They walked miles after miles. They lived overcrowded and poorly cared for in makeshift shelters. Many of them were murdered by criminals who receive hugs from the maximum “ruler.” Others, kidnapped to carry out the toughest drug trafficking tasks. At least forty people died in a fire in the facilities of the National Immigration Institute, run by the unscathed and unpunished former extortioner of taxi drivers Francisco Garduño … Well, in Texas, Governor Greg Abbot has already made a direct accusation against the López government. Obrador, while signing a law that gives police the power to detain and deport migrants without due process. Although the issue is federal authority, Washington, it served to scare the resident of the National Palace, who already said that he will challenge and blah, blah, blah. * * * The former governor of Oaxaca, Alejandro Murat, senators Eruviel Ávila, Nuvia Mayorga and Jorge Carlos Ramírez Marín, as well as the mayor of Cuajimalpa, Adrián Rubalcava, launched this Tuesday the Progressive Alliance group. It is to support the pre-candidacy of Claudia Sheinbaum. Miguel Ángel Osorio Chong was missing. Could it be that they don’t want the corrupt Chino there either, as those close to him call him? * * * Let’s see, let’s see! How is it that what is today the CISEN — whatever it may be — notified Omar García Harfuch that, once again, his life was in danger due to an alleged attack by a brigade of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel? Why did General Audomaro Sandoval only give him the “whistle” and not neutralize the possible murderers? Would he be hugging them while passing current to the former capital police officer? New maneuver by AMLO against his favored “corcholata” so that García Harfuch does not reach the Senate of the Republic, as insiders think? * * * In his matinee this Tuesday, the showman in charge celebrated the agreement of Grupo Carso, by Carlos Slim, with PetroBal, by Alejandro Baillères, to invest in a block to extract oil. The rich first? That is the case, especially after on Monday, in Rosario, Sinaloa, the Macuspano said that his government has done well for those at the bottom, but “very well for those at the top.” * * * Do you believe Dante Delgado, owner of the franchise that has been called Fosforena ? Me neither. The partisan boss has just distanced himself from the theft of the six-year term in Segalmex, but the evidence indicates his participation in this enormous theft of taxpayers that harms those most in need, given his closeness to the businessman and patron of MC Alejandro Puente, who is involved up to the neck in that quagmire. * * * And that’s all for today. I wish you, as always, good thanks and many, many days!
