Harfuch says Amílcar Olán is locatable; FGR must confirm any investigation
Businessman Jorge Amílcar Olán Aparicio is at the center of scrutiny in Mexico over alleged links to criminal figures and government contracts.
A columnist has claimed that Mexico’s attorney general’s office and financial intelligence unit have two investigations involving him, but those claims have not been confirmed by the authorities in the second account.
The reported inquiries concern a transfer of 1.4 billion pesos to his sister and possible money laundering involving six companies.
Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch said Olán is locatable, but did not say where he is.
He said the attorney general’s office must confirm whether Olán is in an investigation file and how many files there are.
The scrutiny also follows audio recordings that reportedly refer to Olán’s alleged connections with a criminal operator and contracts at the Dos Bocas refinery.
Omar García Harfuch said Jorge Amílcar Olán Aparicio is locatable, but said the Federal Attorney General’s Office must confirm whether he is under investigation.
Harfuch made the comments after a private appearance before the Senate’s Political Coordination Board on October 13, 2026.
He said questions about how many investigation files involve Olán should be directed to the Attorney General’s Office.
A column by journalist Raymundo Riva Palacio, reported by El Informador, claimed that two investigations involving Olán were under way.
That account also said Olán had been located in Switzerland and later moved to other destinations, claims not confirmed by Harfuch in the report.
