Emilio Lozoya

Emilio Lozoya is a Mexican businessman and former director of Pemex, Mexico's state-owned oil company, from 2012 to 2016. He gained significant attention due to his involvement in a high-profile corruption scandal linked to the Brazilian construction firm Odebrecht, which allegedly bribed officials in multiple countries, including Mexico. Lozoya faced various charges, including money laundering and corruption, and was arrested in 2020 after fleeing to Europe. His case is a focal point in Mexico's broader efforts to combat corruption and restore public trust in government institutions.
