Javier Duarte was governor of Veracruz in a period ranging from December 1, 2010 until the end of October 2016, and his incomplete term was plagued by accusations of illicit enrichment, organized crime and money laundering.
Javier Duarte liked luxury or, as the diaries of his wife Karime Macias said, the abundance. Ranches, houses, mansions, departments, works of art, all distributed in different cities: from Querétaro, Veracruz and Mexico City, to Spain, Costa Rica and the United States.
When authorities began investigations discovered that the former governor of Veracruz had decided to invest millions of dollars in real estate.
Until last year, the Attorney General's Office (PGR) had managed to secure 112 bank accounts, five companies and four properties that allegedly belong to Duarte, as well as relatives, friends and former public servants who are wanted. He also requested information on real estate acquired, bank accounts abroad and business location, particularly in the United States, Spain and Costa Rica.
In Miami 30 properties
With the creation of the company Rusnam Investments, created in 2011 and made up of Duarte's lawyer and other alleged lenders, Alfonso Ortega López, Moisés Mansure Iñaki Negrete, bought 30 properties in Miami.
Subsequently, under orders from Duarte, Ortega transferred $ 700,000 to two 'ghost' companies of Duarte: Azerco LLC and Conexa LLC (limited liability company), to which Rusnam sold 14 properties with an approximate value of $ 120,000 and $ 200,000 .
The total property owned by the Azerco ghost company counting those sold by Rusnam is 11, while the total property owned by Conexa is eight, the homes are located in Miami and in the cities of Homestead and Cutler Bay, within the county of Miami-Dade.
10 ghost companies
In the voice of Moisés Mansur Cysneiros, friend and prestanombres of Duarte, this forced him to create 10 ghost companies, including Azerco, Rusnam Investments and Conexa, later the wife of Javier Duarte, Karime Macías ordered him to transmit actions to other people to erase traces.
Duarte also had timeshare units, prepayments for lodging, at the St. Regis Hotel in New York, valued at 200 thousand and 400 thousand dollars, and through Ortega acquired two joint departments to his in Ixtapa -Zihuatanejo, for a value of 1.5 million dollars each.
Supposed investigations by the PGR show that through phantom companies and through men like Moses Mansur, José Juan Janeiro Rodríguez and Rafael Gerardo Rosas Bocardo, Duarte was able to obtain a ranch in Valle de Bravo for a value of 200 million pesos.
In addition to this ranch Duarte owned plots in Lerma de Campeche, through another ghost company: Consortium Brades S.A de C.V, this company agreed with Moses Mansur the purchase of such plots.
This other ghost company received about 300 million pesos from some ghost companies like Medical Healthy Service S.A from C.V. And Melvan Architectural Designs, which in turn received money from other ghost companies such as Solaris Technologies and Papaloapan Concrete Agglomerates, who had contracts as suppliers to the Secretariats of Education and Health of the state of Veracruz.
Properties in Mexico City
In Mexico City, the ex-governor also owned two departments in Polanco and Lomas de Chapultepec, through two of his prestanombres, Moisés Mansur and one of his lawyers, Roberto García González.
