Petroleos Mexicanos alleges billions of dollars of hydrocarbons lost as general changed security protocols allowing clandestine taps on the state-owned company's pipelines.

A B.C. Supreme Court judge ruled April 29 that an ex-Mexican general wanted in his country for breach of public trust charges involving a state-owned energy company can be extradited to face charges there.

“Pemex calculates losses in the billions of litres of hydrocarbons, with a total value equivalent to billions of Canadian dollars,” Holmes said. A lawyer for ex-Pemex employees filed a criminal complaint in March 2017 to the office of Mexico’s Attorney General that claimed they were threatened with firing if they did not follow the scheme.

“Mr. Trauwitz was the one who was trying to stop hydrocarbon theft and his actions actually prohibited other corrupt individuals from engaging in carbon theft,” Arbogast said. “They are now turning that back against him because they are higher up in the political food chain.”
