Mexico's justice system, with the cases of Lozoya, Billy Álvarez, and John Urich, is suffering from a crisis of credibility. The case of the Urich family is in the spotlight. Edgar is able to act as both judge and party against his brother John, with the full backing of the judiciary. This allowed him to send his brother to prison and force him to sign documents that entitle him to only 7% of his dividends. The key figure in this case appears to be Eduardo Nyssen, the long-time auditor of the BACO company. He signs financial statements with alleged alterations that hide profits and transfer them to offshore accounts. While John Urich is in jail, other high-profile figures, like 80-year-old former Cruz Azul director Billy Álvarez, are also not granted any special treatment. In contrast, former Pemex head Emilio Lozoya, despite his electronic bracelet, was free to visit exclusive restaurants. These cases raise serious questions about the independence of the judiciary and are creating obstacles for investment in strategic sectors, including Pemex.
