Santiago Nieto will present his statement to the SFP; denies lawsuit with Gertz Manero

Santiago Nieto, former head of the Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF) of the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP), reported that he will present to the Public Function Secretary (SFP) your statement of termination of the charge.

“I have contacted the Secretary of Public Function today to present my declaration of conclusion of the position and there are contemplated, as they are since the declaration of patrimonial modification, the three mortgage loans, including the one I have with my wife from joint form. I have contacted him in order to make myself available to him, and, of course, clarify what is already reported to the SAT and to the Ministry of Public Function, ” he declared, interviewed in the Senate.

The former official, according to information published last Monday by the newspaper Reforma, is being investigated by the General Prosecutor of the Republic (FGR) for alleged illicit enrichment because, being the owner of the FIU, he bought, for a sum of 40 million pesos, four real estate and a car.

As the president (Andrés Manuel) López Obrador said, it is important to confront; First, to face, second, to act in congruence with the principles of the fourth transformation, ” said Nieto Castillo.

To the specific question “Are you clean, sir?”, He replied: “Obviously yes.” And he denied being faced with Alejandro Gertz Manero, Attorney General of the Republic.

“On my part there is no confrontation,” he said.

Also interviewed in the upper house, Roberto Salcedo Aquino, Secretary of Public Function, explained that the legal deadline for Santiago Nieto to present his declaration of conclusion of the position expires on January 7.

“When he took possession of the FIU he made his opening declaration and has made his annual declarations, and we are missing the final declaration. Law times end on January 7. We have to wait for the final statement, and the evolution process is to compare what it delivered with what it ends up. ”

Nieto Castillo attended as a guest by Ricardo Monreal, president of the Board of Political Coordination (JCP) of the upper house, to a forum held in the Senate on the occasion of the celebration of the International Day Against Corruption, in which Salcedo Aquino did participate.
