Two-thirds of the actions of the company Oro Negro, which recently accused Pemex of the financial crisis he is facing, belong to Mexican workers who invested in Afores revealed the journalist Ana Lilia Pérez

In an interview for #AristeguiEnvivo she pointed out that in this case "the public focus should be put on" because although there was talk of d & # 39; Investors from the United States and Europe, there is no Black Gold accuses Pemex of provoking his financial crisis by refusing to pay bribes

He recalls that the 13 May 2013, Oro Negro announced that two months ago (March 15 of the year), Axis Capital -the investment fund of Gonzalo Gil White of the former secretary of Hacienda, Francisco Gil Díaz -, thanks to a trust, he ac completed a injection of capital for $ 200 million which brought its net worth to $ 330 million .

In addition, he added, " Oro Negro arises with a conflict of interest because it was created by Gonzalo Gil White, son of Francisco Gil Díaz, who was the powerful Secretary of the Treasury "in The Sexenio of Vincent Fox and was part of the board of Petróleos Mexicanos.

He added that even though Oro Negro was founded until 2012, González Gil White has already managed an investment fund: Axis which was dedicated to grant loans to entrepreneurs of Petróleos Mexicanos and credits factoring "this system where companies have credits giving as guarantees the bills of those who will charge in Petróleos Mexicanos, which is the same regime with which they have worked Ocenography . "

" Axis became a company that had a lot of operating margin within Pemex when one of its executives, (Juan José) Suárez Coppel came as director of later,

Later, in February 2012, Gonzalo Gil White and his uncle, José Antonio Cañedo White, decided to form Oro Negro, who began to absorb a society that has already leased platforms to Pemex since at least 2002 " which is incorporated in Delaware, United States, and" operated with the entire system of tax havens. "

" Income the average was 170 thousand dollars a day for each of these platforms … In the oil sector one of the best companies is the rental of platforms, as that of boats, rents are daily, whether they work or not, drilling or no wells, whether or not we obtain hydrocarbons, and the contracts are multinational, and this is well known Luis Ramírez Corzo ", who was director of Pemex from 2004 to 2006 and is now director of Oro Negro

Ana Lilia Pérez commented that" this legal strategy (of Oro Negro) to resort to international tribunals is because we might be faced with a pattern similar to the Odebrecht case, that is to say to the leaders and officials of Pemex they would be under investigation for bribery . "

According to the reporter, this case" is in the public interest where it is seen "since does not prosecute a particular Pemex official but the state,"

" a case is brought before an international tribunal, as in this case, the Mexican State, through the intermediary of the Ministry of the Economy, must appoint a group of. lawyers who start to plead. the case. These are not inexpensive cases because they are brought to trial in international tribunals, they must contract field offices, they must send people from Mexico, they must pay their travel expenses [19659008"Inmanycases that it is directed against the Mexican state we have already had antecedents, and from where it is paid is the 39, public money ; here we are talking about a claim that adds billions of dollars, "he said.

From the perspective of the author of PEMEX RIP: Life and Murder of the Mexican Main Company can not ignore the ruptures and conflicts that are to the origin of Oro Negro which could have triggered this series of accusations.

" In Petróleos we spoke about the influence of the company that would have led to try to hold meetings not to reduce the number of its platforms, even if the Hiring was reduced to all companies hired platforms …

"There was a lot of pressure within Pemex when the rental rate began to be reduced and those internal intrigues started, leading to this kind of positioning that leads us to conclude and broke there. It is said that lost protection "he said.

Given this, he said:" the authorities should review the contracts that have been given. because the rents of the platforms and ships must be the subject of bids "and public resources are at stake.
