Gabino Antonio Fraga-Peña, a campaign chief for Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, is under a money laundering investigation for transfers that may correspond to illegal party funding.
Fraga-Peña helped Peña Nieto win the presidency in 2012. He was named among a larger investigation into Banco Madrid clients who made suspicious transactions that were not controlled under anti-laundering regulations at the bank.
Fraga-Peña received a transfer of €445,000 that may correspond to illegal party funding, according to an investigation by Spain’s Executive Service of the Commission for Monitoring Exchange Control Offences.
Other clients under investigation include officials under former Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and a Russian mafioso.
