Emilio Lozoya, former head of Pemex, has been ordered into preventive detention by a judge in Mexico. His conditional freedom was revoked due to non-compliance with an agreement to testify against others, including former President Enrique Peña Nieto. The prosecution cited a risk of flight, especially after Lozoya was seen dining at a luxury restaurant, sparking public criticism. Lozoya faces charges of illicit resource use, criminal association, and bribery, potentially leading to a 30-year sentence. He is implicated in the Odebrecht scandal, where funds were allegedly used to finance Peña Nieto's 2012 presidential campaign. Despite these allegations, neither Peña Nieto nor Luis Videgaray have been called to testify.
