Emilio Lozoya, Carlos Treviño’s predecessor at the head of Pemex, declared that the former director received 4 million 390 thousand pesos in bribes to operate a polyethylene plant. The Mexican oil company supplied the plant with ethanol, which allowed the Brazilian firm to obtain million-dollar profits illegally, and Treviño is accused of participating in these acts of corruption related to the Odebrecht case.
