Fox: Pemex officials wanted for fraud are believed to be in the United States
Thu Jun 13,12:38 PM ET

MEXICO CITY - President Vicente Fox ( news - web sites) said six Pemex officials wanted on fraud charges are believed to have fled to the United States, and he urged U.S. officials to find them and extradite them to Mexico.


In a speech late Tuesday to the National Association of Hispanic Journalists convention, Fox said Mexico was working harder to find and extradite criminals wanted in the United States, and he expected the same from U.S. officials. He mentioned the Pemex officials as an example.

He didn't specify which suspects were believed to be in the United States or where they had allegedly fled.

"We are sure that they are there — in the United States — and we are looking for a way to arrest and extradite them to Mexico," he said.

Federal prosecutors have issued arrest warrants for several Pemex officials accused of laundering dlrs 170 million for the presidential campaign of Francisco Labastida, the Institutional Revolutionary Party candidate who lost the 2000 election to Fox.

Labastida was the first PRI candidate to lose an election, breaking the party's 71-year hold on power.

Former Pemex director Rogelio Montemayor, a former Coahuila state governor, is among those accused of helping transfer funds into the state oil worker union's bank account. The money was then allegedly passed to the PRI in a complicated series of transfers.

Montemayor has said that all of the past money transfers to the union were legal.
