Journalist says Mexican businessman left Switzerland for Dubai and Eastern Europe
Jorge Amílcar Olán, a businessman from Mexico’s Tabasco state, was reportedly living in Switzerland for nearly a year.
A journalist says he left after his residence in Lugano was made public in late September, traveled to Dubai and then went to an unnamed country in Eastern Europe.
The journalist also alleges Olán is carrying 3 billion pesos that mostly belong to other people.
The claims have not been presented as established facts in the account.
The journalist says Mexico’s federal prosecutor’s office and financial intelligence unit are investigating Olán.
The alleged investigations involve a transfer of 1.4 billion pesos and six companies suspected of being used to launder money.
The journalist says authorities are also examining whether funds linked to a drug-trafficking group were moved through the companies to political campaigns in Baja California Sur; no next steps are specified.
Journalist Raymundo Riva Palacio said Mexican businessman Jorge Amílcar Olán left Switzerland after his residence in Lugano was publicized.
Olán reportedly travelled to Dubai and then returned to an unspecified country in Eastern Europe.
Riva Palacio said Olán was moving with 3 billion pesos, most of which he said did not belong to him.
He also reported that Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office and Financial Intelligence Unit were investigating Olán, though the article says the investigations have been publicly denied.

What people are saying
está corriendo con tres mil millones de pesos que no son suyos en su mayoría, por varios países
tampoco será fácil que puedan recuperarlo pronto, a menos que no tengan preocupación o problema con que las autoridades estadounidenses conozcan quiénes le dieron sus recursos y de dónde salieron
Tuvo más miedo a los dueños de su dinero que a nosotros
