Mexico's Sheinbaum says former Pemex CEO arrested in US, to be deported
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Thursday that Carlos Trevino, former CEO of state oil company Pemex, had been arrested in the United States and would be deported to stand trial in Mexico for corruption charges.
"It's an extradition request that has been ongoing for about five years. He has finally been located and will be deported in the coming days. His trial will take place in Mexico," Sheinbaum said during her daily news conference.
The president added that the arrest stems from a complaint filed by Emilio Lozoya, also a former Pemex director, who accused Trevino of receiving approximately 4 million pesos in bribes in exchange for authorizing a contract for the Ethylene XXI plant, linked to Odebrecht's Braskem subsidiary.
Trevino was appointed CEO of Pemex in November 2017, during the administration of former President Enrique Pena Nieto, and served until the end of that administration in late 2018.
Mexico's Attorney General's Office had accused Trevino of criminal association and operations with illicit proceeds. An arrest warrant was first issued in September 2021 after he failed to appear in court.

Beto O'Rourke Calls Ted Cruz ‘A Curse Upon the People of Texas,' Suggests His Vacations Incite Natural Disasters
"It's clear that he doesn't care about the people that he purports to serve or represent," he adds Beto O'Rourke thinks that Ted Cruz might be a curse on all the people of Texas. On Wednesday's 'Hasan Minhaj Doesn't Know' podcast, the host pointed out that Cruz seems to be on vacation when disasters strike Texas. He was out of the country during the statewide blackouts in 2021 and during the flood disaster over the summer. O'Rourke suggested that the senator might just be cursing the state of Texas. More from TheWrap Beto O'Rourke Calls Ted Cruz 'A Curse Upon the People of Texas,' Suggests His Vacations Incite Natural Disasters | Video Taylor Swift's 'New Heights' Episode Breaks Podcast's Record With 13 Million YouTube Views in a Day Paramount Countersues 'Top Gun: Maverick' Writer's Cousin, Who Claims He Wrote Key Scenes 'The Traitors' Sets Civilian-Only Spinoff at NBC 'I think he's a curse upon the people of Texas any way that you put it,' O'Rourke said. 'It's clear that he doesn't care about the people that he purports to serve or represent. You know, that should be damning in and of itself. And for me, it is. Even worse – and you know, this wasn't the case in 2018, but it certainly was in 2021 – his effort to incite an insurrection against the country's government in which he serves, to try to overturn a lawfully, fairly, democratically decided election.' He continued: 'In my opinion, that should bar him from any public service and really should prompt an investigation by the Department of Justice into his role in that insurrection attempt on the 6th of January 2021. And I think it's one of the big failings, honestly, of the previous administration and their Department of Justice. They didn't prosecute those like Donald Trump or like Ted Cruz who are responsible for that insurrection. And the fact that we nearly lost what Lincoln called The Last Best Hope of Earth.' On top of the ridicule over the summer Cruz got for being in Greece during the Texas flooding, the senator also went viral for getting in a shouting match with Tucker Carlson over Trump's battle with Iran back in June. 'How many people live in Iran, by the way?' Carlson asked. 'I don't know the population at all … I don't know the population,' Cruz replied. 'You don't know the population in the country you seek to topple?' Carlson asked. He then clarified that Iran currently has an estimated population of 92 million. 'How could you not know that?'

Cuomo, pressed by Mamdani, declines to release names of consulting clients
NEW YORK — Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Thursday he won't release his client list from his time working as a consultant after his 2021 resignation because of privacy issues, an issue that has been pressed during this year's mayoral election. Cuomo's opponent, Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for mayor, called on his rival to release the client list in a video posted on Tuesday, accusing him of trying to cover up scandals. But Cuomo, during a news conference Thursday on economic development plans, said he couldn't name names because of 'attorney-client privilege.' He did say he's worked for 'podcasts, I've advocated for certain causes that are dear to me, worked with organizations, pro-Israel organizations among others, practicing law.' The former governor said he had no clients before the city or state government, and that he hasn't done any lobbying work. It's been previously revealed that his clients include a crypto company that pleaded guilty to operating illegally in the U.S. and a luxury marina in Puerto Rico. Cuomo also joined a legal team defending Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from allegations of war crimes in Gaza. A spokesman for the former governor said that the 'podcast' he worked on was his own, titled 'As a matter of fact with Andrew Cuomo.' 'We learned Andrew Cuomo advised an offshore illegal crypto exchange and failed to disclose nearly $3 million in nuclear stock options only after investigate journalists uncovered it — what else is he hiding?' Mamdani spokeswoman Dora Pekec said in a statement. 'After four years of endless corruption at City Hall, New Yorkers deserve a mayor who will wake up every day and work for them, not engage in pay-to-play.' Cuomo created his consulting business, Innovation Strategies LLC, after resigning as governor after several allegations of sexual harassment, which he denies.
