Enrique Pena Nieto, the former president of Mexico, is the subject of an investigation by prosecutors for a number of suspected offenses, including money laundering and unjust enrichment. This article is published by Deutsche Welle. Here is an excerpt:

Prosecutors in Mexico launched an investigation into former President Enrique Pena Nieto for several alleged crimes, including money laundering and illicit enrichment, weeks after the country’s anti-money laundering agency accused him of handling millions of dollars in possibly illegal funds.

In a press statement, the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) referred to Pena Nieto as “Enrique ‘P'”, in line with Mexico’s policy of not identifying those accused of crimes. The statement said he was under investigation for potential election-related crimes tied to a Spanish construction company, including money laundering, illicit enrichment and illegal international transfers.

Mexico’s former leader, who was in office from 2012-2018, now lives in Madrid. He has denied any wrongdoing.
