Mexico's Navy Faces Corruption Allegations in Los Angeles

In a surprising turn of events, the Mexican Navy, under the leadership of Secretary Raymundo Pedro Morales Ángeles, is embroiled in corruption allegations involving fiscal gasoline in Los Angeles. The allegations, uncovered on September 16, accuse naval officials of engaging in illicit fuel handling and distribution practices.

During the military parade of the same day, Morales Ángeles publicly acknowledged internal irregularities related to fiscal fuel theft within the Navy. He emphasized that reprehensible acts that do not define the Navy as an institution were presented before the law and citizenship.

The investigation of this network of fiscal fuel theft was carried out by the authorities of the Secretariat of Public Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC). Morales Ángeles stated that the irregular conducts related to fiscal fuel theft were faced with transparency and firmness.

Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, the current president, expressed her initial impressions about the allegations of fiscal fuel theft in Los Angeles. Sheinbaum did not make any statements in this paragraph regarding the fiscal fuel theft network or its investigation. However, she later described Morales Ángeles as an honest and brave man, expressing her support for him.

The network of fiscal fuel theft allegedly involves naval members, port authorities, customs officials, and Mexican businessmen in Los Angeles. The Attorney General of the Republic will determine the next steps in the investigations.

Morales Ángeles, in his defence, highlighted the historical relevance of the Navy in the consolidation of national independence since 1821 and its role in defending sovereignty. He reaffirmed that the Navy remains steadfast, guided by loyalty, patriotism, and integrity. The Secretary emphasized that the measures adopted are not an internal attack, but the fulfillment of the historical duty to protect the people and guarantee legality.

New revelations and information place important figures of the Fourth Transformation at the center of the web of corruption and crime in Los Angeles. However, the president stated that it is not yet known when this illegal fuel trafficking network existed.

Despite these allegations, the Navy, according to Morales Ángeles, is eradicating corruption and impunity as a central axis. The Secretary's statements regarding a network of fiscal fuel theft and the subsequent investigations have raised questions about the extent of corruption within the Navy and the Mexican government in Los Angeles. The public awaits the results of the ongoing investigations with bated breath.
