Controversies[]

Vallarta - Cassez Case[]

In December 2005 Carlos Loret, presenter of the morning newscast of Televisa Primero Noticias, claimed to present “live” an operation of the Federal Investigation Agency, then led by Genaro García Luna, to arrest a gang of alleged kidnappers known as Los Zodiaco which resulted in the arrest of and the French citizen Florence Cassez. Seven years later, in 2013, Loret acknowledged that that "live" broadcast was not such and that it was fake set up. Grupo Televisa fired one of the reporters who participated in the event, but failed to publicly comment on the matter. The reporter , who was dismissed, complained to the CNDH and denounced that those perpetrators were by García Luna himself, and the driver Carlos Loret de Mola.[1] [20][21]

Alleged irregular purchase of an apartment in Miami[]

The journalist Julio C. Roa exhibited that Carlos Loret bought in 2010 a luxurious apartment in Miami with the value of 7.5 million dollars in cash, in the same real estate area where it is noted that Genaro García Luna has several properties. He also commented that the acquisition of said property was registered in a tax haven, and that the Latinus company, for which he currently works, is mentioned in the Panama Papers.[22]
