MEXICO CITY - Mexico’s president said on Friday that a former cabinet minister who had been questioned over an alleged $250 million loss to taxpayers under the previous government was the only official being investigated in the case so far.
Rosario Robles, who for more than 2-1/2 years was the social development minister in the last administration, appeared on Thursday before a judge over prosecutors’ claims that over 5 billion pesos destined for welfare programs under her tenure were unaccounted for, local media reported. A 2017 investigation by Mexican news site Animal Politico and nonprofit Mexicans Against Corruption and Impunity found more than 50 officials participated in the so-called “Master Fraud” that funneled public funds into various shell companies.
Robles has denied any wrongdoing. After her court appearance on Thursday, she said she was taking stock of the accusations to prepare a defense.
