Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said Wednesday his two predecessors should testify about corruption allegations made by a key witness in a bribery case.
Lopez Obrador said testimony from a former Pemex chief, Emilio Lozoya, seems to implicate not only former President Enrique Pena Nieto in alleged bribery, but also the previous president, Felipe Calderon. But unlike Pena Nieto, Calderon isn’t referred to directly in Lozoya’s testimony that was made public by Attorney General Alejandro Gertz on Tuesday.
