Sheinbaum announces the arrest with the solemnity of a soap opera spoiler

Oh, the irony. Carlos Alberto Treviño Medina, the former director of Pemex who probably only collected envelopes with “congratulations for your honesty”, was detained in the United States. The crime? Corruption, because what else would a former oil official do in his free time, gardening?

Deportation: when karma travels in economy class

In a press conference that sounded more like an episode of “Catch the Fugitive”, Claudia Sheinbaum dropped the bomb: Treviño Medina will be deported to Mexico. Because nothing says “efficient justice” like letting another country do the dirty work. Of course, the president was quick to clarify that he will be judged here… because in Mexico we know how to deal with corruption with the forcefulness of cotton candy.

“It’s good,” Sheinbaum said of the arrest, with the enthusiasm of someone who finds a counterfeit bill in their wallet. And he added: “We want them to do more.” Translation: “Please, FBI, keep cleaning our house while we look for the broom.”.

The funniest thing? Treviño Medina was on the list of alerts, those that Mexico broadcasts as if they were Netflix promotions. “Limited offer! Corrupts with a valid passport, take advantage before Interpol notices you!”.

And now what? Well, the former director will face charges in a country where, statistically, a politician is more likely to appear in a scandal than in the photo of the year. Of course, with the consolation that, at least, he was not extradited to a reality show.

Moral: If you’re going to be corrupt, at least be smart enough not to vacation where Uncle Sam has your tab. Or better yet, don’t be (what a radical concept).

Failures in internal controls

An audit of the Anti-Corruption and Good Government Secretariat identified multiple deficiencies in the Women’s Secretariat. Among them, the absence of mechanisms to verify that the personnel in charge of caring for victims of violence did not have a criminal record or gender violence record.

The report “A PROCESO-006-074-2025” also indicates that there were no clear hiring procedures in the Women’s Instances in the Federal Entities (IMEF). For this reason, a preventive recommendation was issued to strengthen entry filters.

Pending manuals and organization

The agency lacked an updated General Organization Manual and a Procedures Manual, mandatory documents for its operation. The audits recommended developing and updating them.

Although the Secretariat reported that several areas had already sent projects to integrate these manuals, until now their complete implementation has not been accredited. In addition, another review detected inconsistencies in job profiles in the Information Technology area.

These observations occur in a context of institutional transition: the Women’s Secretariat has not had a head since April 2026. This situation has generated administrative and operational pending issues in the new structure of the federal agency.
