Overview
- Federal court records list an initial hearing on Dec. 16 at the Reclusorio Oriente before Judge Diana Selene Medina Hernández.
- The case seeks to impute Casar for alleged uso ilícito de atribuciones y facultades tied to a post‑mortem Pemex pension, a crime punishable by six months to 12 years in prison and a fine.
- The federal file also names two former Pemex officials, Miguel Ángel Feijóo and Teresa Maldonado Ordóñez, as co‑accused over decisions made in 2004.
- The FGR stated the probe stems from an April 2024 complaint by Pemex and emphasized that the matter was brought to a judge in September, not newly initiated under the current leadership.
- Casar has received a Pemex widow’s pension since 2005 of about 125,000 pesos monthly, which Pemex estimates at roughly 31 million pesos, and prior labor rulings ordered payments reinstated after a 2024 suspension; the alleged offense is not classified as grave, so any linked defendants could face trial out of custody.
