Latinus Investigation Raises Questions About Military Contracts and Political Connections.
A recent investigation by Latinus has sparked debate in Mexico, highlighting alleged irregularities in government-linked business dealings and their intersection with the military.
According to the report, Latinus examined connections between individuals close to the presidential family and business figures with ties to the Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA). The investigation suggests that these relationships may have influenced the awarding of contracts and raised concerns about transparency in military procurement.
Latinus points to communications and financial records that appear to show preferential treatment in dealings with high-ranking officials. While the report names several individuals, none of the allegations have been independently verified, and those mentioned have not been formally charged with wrongdoing
The investigation has reignited public debate about accountability in Mexico’s defense sector. Analysts note that SEDENA has become increasingly involved in infrastructure projects, making oversight more critical.
According to Latinus, Amílcar Olán, a Tabasco businessman and close friend of the president’s sons Andy and Gonzalo López Beltrán, secured contracts with SEDENA. The Army itself confirmed the existence of these contracts and announced an internal investigation into how they were awarded.
The investigation, opened by SEDENA’s Internal Control Office, is reviewing whether public officials acted improperly in granting contracts to Olán. The probe comes amid broader scrutiny of what Latinus has dubbed “El Clan”, a network of relatives and associates of López Obrador’s sons allegedly involved in lucrative deals tied to major infrastructure projects such as the Tren Maya.
Latinus also released audio recordings in which Olán and Pedro Salazar Beltrán, a relative of the López Beltrán family, discuss payments to bypass quality certifications for construction materials used in the Tren Maya. The recordings suggest that bribes were offered to ensure that substandard ballast was accepted for the project.
While the reports have generated widespread debate, none of the individuals named have been formally charged with wrongdoing. Civil society groups and opposition figures have demanded transparency, urging authorities to clarify the scope of the contracts and ensure accountability in military procurement.

Los hijos de López Obrador y sus amigos sobornaron a altos mandos del Ejército.
Hay grabaciones..
Hay audios..
¿Y cuál es la prioridad del gobierno?
Atacar a opositores.
Distraer al pueblo.
Y apostarle al olvido..
Vean la triste realidad del país..
