"Bert" Moreira Demands Forbes Delete his Name from Most Corrupt List

Chivis Martínez for Borderland Beat

The infamous former governor of Coahuila, Humberto Moreira, is in dispute with Forbes Magazine and its inclusion of him on their recently released list of Most Corrupt Mexicans.
He claims Forbes is responsible to him  for ensuing damage following the publication of the article titled : "The 10 most corrupt people of Mexico in 2013."
In a letter from Mexico City law firm Christian Zinser 
Cieslik and  Associates to the U.S. based magazine, charging the article, authored by Dolia Estevez, is false and has harmed their client.
The law firm stressed that the information published online and in the magazine publication is defamatory and malicious towards their client.
They have charged both the publication and Dolia Estevez responsible and says  compensatory and punitive damages are in order.
On behalf of Humbero Moreira they request a retraction  and an immediate apology to their client to be published in a prominent place on Forbes.

Oh brother, he just doesn’t know how to shut up and go away forever
In case anyone is wondering, Bert attributes his body to Crossfit training.

I translated the narrative long ago and it is below the video.  If anyone is able to add my translation to subtitles, I would be forever grateful. 
Bert this one's for you

Humberto and Ruben Moreira: The hidden face of corruption
English translation of video:
(0:05 -0:08)
In the State of Coahuila, behind the face of what is supposed to be a social government that helps people 
(0:09 – 0:17)
is a well-armed criminal net of corruption, shadowy businesses and influence peddling; by Humberto and Ruben Moreira, their relatives and unconditional friends.
(0:18 – 0:28)
Thanks to a very serious investigational work, secretly obtained several months ago, it has been discovered the tentacles that form the corruption net, that is headed by Humberto and Ruben Moreira,   through front men - ( Prestanombres 0:30)  that cover and hide sources of illicit enrichment
(0:34 -0:38)
It is  a casualty that the government of Coahuila is in debt for around 20 thousand million pesos.
(0:39 – 0:43)
Much of this money was derived from the honest effort of the people of Coahuila.

(0:44 – 0.55)
The reality is that it has been blatantly destined to enlarge the personal fortune of the Moreira Family and their unconditional friends. These are some of the unconditional friends and partners of the brothers Humberto and Ruben Moreira:
(0.56 – 1:06)
Javier Villarreal Hernandez: Former secretary of finances and actual head of the SATEC (Tributary Administrative System of the State of Coahuila) He is an employee of the Moreira’s.
(1:07 – 1:15)
From his strategic position inside the government of Coahuila, he has become the head of the financial operations of the Moreira net.
(1:16 – 1:18)
Javier Villarreal Hernandez has been very careful that his name doesn’t appear in these transactions.
(1:19 - 1:28)
He does everything in the name of Francisco Javier Flores Valdes, supposedly the nephew of the Moreira brothers and husband of his subordinate Anabell Torres Leza
(1:29 -1:32)
Lorenzo Schuessler Reyes, his wife’s brother in law; Aurora Villarreal Hernandez,
(1:33 – 1:37)
his sister and his father, Hector Javier Villarreal Garcia    (continues next page)

(1:38 – 1:42)
Who have under their names, ownership of  gas stations, car washes and expensive real estate.
(1:43 – 1:50)
Vicente Chairez Yañez: Former Secretary of administration of the State and current Finance Secretary of the Directive Committee of CEN of PRI.
(1:51 – 1:55)
He is the main operator and protector of Humberto and Ruben Moreira’s interests, as well as for their family.
(1:56 – 2:06)
Vicente Chairez Yañez
is a dangerous man that enjoys of the trust, Humberto Moreira, has granted him. He is his lieutenant in dirty businesses and operations with abusing authority and police force use in Coahuila.
(2:07 – 2:10)
Vicente Chairez Yañez is the direct link of all the corruption net
(2:11 – 2:20)
With Ruben Flores, a questionable  attorney of San Antonio, Texas, that according to the proof obtained, he is who is in charge to legitimize and sanitize the operations of the Moreira net in the foreign country. (US)
(2:21 – 2:24)
He is also the personal front man of Humberto Moreira in construction enterprises
(2:25 – 2:28)

(2:41 – 248)
include a mansion in Bexar County in San Antonio, Texas with a contractual value of more than 700 thousand dollars,
(2:49)
equivalent to approximately 10 million pesos.
(2:50 – 2:55)
attention is drawn to the fact that Vicente Chairez and Roberto Casimiro Gonzalez,
(2:56 – 3:02)
owner of the powerful communication media group RCG of Coahuila and one of the principal
(3:03 – 3:06)
partners and benefactor of the Moreira’s , creating operations out of the country
(3:07 – 3:12)
as front men of Humberto Moreira , Vicente’s wife’s brother in law is  Arnoldo Rivas Duron.
(3:13 – 3:18)
On September 16th, 2009, Vicente Chairez suspiciously, through a questionable transaction became the owner of channel 22 of Piedras Negras,
(3:19 – 3:21)

(3:22 – 3:31)

(3:36 – 3:39)

(3:40 – 3 44)
exposed his dirty businesses with a value of over 50 million pesos.
(3:45 – 3:50)
Francisco Xavier Flores Valdes: the nephew of the Moreira brothers and husband of Anabell Torres Leza,
(3:51 – 3:54)
former secretary of Programming and Budget of the State of Coahuila.
(3:55 – 4:01)
Francisco Xavier Flores Valdes amassed an unimaginable fortune for his 26 years of age,
(4:02 – 4:04)
thanks to his unconditional relationship to the Moreira Family.
(4:05 – 4:21)
Numerous signs and evidence place him as one of the principal front men inside the corruption net of the Moreira’s. He is owner, majority shareholder or stockholder of the enterprises and properties that the net possesses in Saltillo. It is estimated that altogether,
(4:22)
These businesses have a value that exceed
(4:23 – 4:24)
1000 million pesos.
(4:25 – 4:39)
His enterprises are favored directly through his wife, Anabell Torres Leza, former secretary of Planning and Budget of the Government of Coahuila or through third parties with acquisitions and millionaire contracts by the State of Coahuila in an illegal covert method.
(4:40 – 4:44)
Some of these enterprises are JP Incorporated S.A de C.V.,
(4:45 – 4:49)
Grupo Inmobiliario e Infraestructura Los Alpes S.A de C.V.  (real estate corporation),
(4:50 – 4:52)
Business Storage Corporation S.A de C.V.
(4:53 – 4:54)
 Servicio El Toreo S. A. de C.V.
(4:55 – 4:56)
and a ranch named Los Mimbres, near Parras, Coahuila.
(4:58 – 5:08)
One of the multiple procurements of Javier Villarreal Hernandez, and operated by Francisco Xavier Flores Valdes, was the acquisition by the State Government through the Secretariat of Finance,
 (5:09 – 5:13)
of the offices of the Governmental storage center in Arteaga Coahuila. This property was deviously purchased
(5:14 – 5:28)
 by the business Storage Corporation S.A de C.V., under the mane of Marco Antonio Martinez Saucedo and Francisco Xavier Flores Gonzalez, partner and father of Francisco Xavier Flores Valdez. The property was acquired with 
(5:29 – 5:40)
15 million 500 thousand pesos, to be sold just 23 days after the purchase in 68 million 400 thousand pesos, 4 times more than the original price.
(5:41 – 5:49)
Lorenzo Schuessler Reyes: Javier Villarreal wife’s brother in law and front man. He is the head of the Tributary Administrative System of the State of Coahuila (SATEC)
(5:50 – 5:58)
 and the principal operator and front  man of Javier Villarreal Hernandez in the purchase of properties and business openings in the state of Texas. The participation of Schuessler Reyes in the Moreira net
(5:59 – 6:05)
consists in acquisitions of properties in different cities of the state of Texas under the name of Schuessler enterprises.
(6:06 – 6:10)
Some of the enterprises under Lorenzo Schuessler Reyes’ name, within a very long list, include
(6:11 – 6:22)
MPV Family Partnership, LLC, Peninsula South Padre 1, LLC, Aero Premio, LLC, Alpes Group, LLC, Barcelona at Stone Oak, LLC, Villa Premio Gas, LLC and IXE Systems, LLC.
(6:28 – 6:38)
Additionally, several properties are registered in the Public Records of Texas, under the names of Lorenzo Schuessler Reyes, and/or his wife Itzel Rotelo of Schuessler, sister in law of Javier Villarreal Hernandez.
(6:39 – 6:51)
Ruben Flores Jr., lawyer of San Antonio, Texas: His law firm is in charge of giving legal representation for the multiple commercial, financial and property transactions that the Moreira net create in the foreign country.
(6:52 – 7:08)
The law firm, The Flores Group, specialized in International Corporative Rights, Tax and Migration Services operating for the Moreira net, and the transactions and operations in the foreign country. The address of The Flores group is 7272 Wurzbach Road Suite 901, San Antonio, Texas.
(7:09 - 7:13)
Rodolfo Camara Ahuja, representative of the Government of Coahuila in McAllen, Texas.
(7:14 – 7:17)
Multiple properties of the Moreira in the foreign country are registered under his name.
(7:18 – 7:33)
In addition to all this net of corruption, illicit businesses and influence peddling, through front  men of Humberto and Ruben Moreira, exists strong evidence that with no doubt show how members of Moreira Valdez Family have acquired
(7:34 – 7:42)
numerous properties and buildings in the city of Saltillo, Coahuila, so blatantly, that without shame they are acquired  under their names
(7:43 – 7:55)
as the compound  that Humberto Moreira possesses  in San Antonio, Texas under the name of his mother in law, Herminia Martinez de la Fuente, with swimming pool, spa and 5 spacious bedrooms with a value of more than 1 million dollars.
(7:56 – 8:11)
This is just a part of the criminal corruption net that head Humberto and Ruben Moreira, and is what they plan to continue doing in Coahuila with Ruben Moreira as Governor.

  4. Thanks again Chivis for the translation. This is why, there is a need for more investigative reporting in Mexico. We all should thank the courageous Mexican reporters for this piece.

    This report is the reason why Mexico IS the most dangerous country for professional reporters. Scores have died for reporting much less. Narcos and PRI politicians don't want their deeds published in newspapers and televised news.

Nobody, Nobody ,Nobody publicly exposes the Mexican elites . They are a protected entity. Forbes don't mess with the Mexicans. Forbes gave it their best shot . But, when referring to Mexico it does not happen . Mexico is untouchable and the world needs to accept Why & how can this be?

    As part of the dirty deeds of Mexican Governments,it is like the key to the world of corruption in Mexico,I hope all the moreira's empire gets tied up in court,because coahuila is not paying for the loans made to the state of coahuila under false pretenses and misrepresentations,then stolen by the moreiras...
    imagine what Pena nieto,moreira's candidate is up to,the PRI out of the presideny,fought like a bitch to keep robbing and plundering,and I have no doubt they are the main cause of the drug trafficking and murders in the country.what a great report,congratulations on getting out of reporting the amount of daily deaths,and there are a few more "businessmen", narco-politicians and straight out criminals to chase.BB thanks for lifting my spirits,good job chivis.

  20. As an attorney, truth is a defense under common law to defamation. Even an ounce of truth will leave this corrupt official without a standing because there is no standing to bring the suit. Furthermore, this official is a public figure. In New York Times Company v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254 (1964), in order for a public official or a public figure to prove defamation, they must prove actual 'malice.' Actual malice requires that the person suing prove that the challenged statement was published by those who either knew it was false or were reckless in verifying its accuracy.

    The Supreme Court has said that a public official is one who, at the very least, has or appears to the public to have, a substantial responsibility for or control over governmental affairs.

    This individual has no change of winning.

  21. By the way Chivis, this is probably the best article you posted updating readers about these corrupt officials. Great job and keep up the good work!

Beastie Bertie would make me so happy,I'm sure all borderland fans would be envious of each other's happiness for a change.nuts to Bertie boy.

  25. "nothing to do with crime at the border" I beg to differ, Moreiras are crime at the border and a better example can not be had.

    About the 5 children killed in Tamps. Horrible, but it sometimes is a difficult choice to be made by us, with time consideration and space for 9 stories on mainpage. IMO, and maybe because Coahuila is "my" state, I have seen the destruction the corruption this family, Bert the Z Governor, in particular, has caused in our state. I work closely with the state government heads of education and the impact is as though some one turned the lights out in the state. I have been waiting 2 years for a transformer for one school for the disabled.

    Bert destroyed the state, a state that was flourishing when I arrived a decade ago. Lack of educational opportunities equal uneducated children, equals a large pool of recruit for cartels.

    Sometimes, a story may appear to have greater significance than one we have chosen to post, but one must look at the big picture.

    To the atty, I don't recall seeing the email, but I am not able to read all of them, in general in there is not a subject I will not open an email. If you choose to send another I will be on the lookout though I am not certain I can help.

  39. Moreira is not only corrupt but has caused the poor of Mexico to suffer now and many years in the future. But not only Moreira but 90 % of the Governors and Government of Mexico, are corrupt in ways they themselves would justify under the laws which they make. Mexico has evolved into a Fascist State, because People like Carlos Sim own the government and now Cartels own the capitalist. It does not matter how you concieve it, the Poor in Mexico and throughout the World are the ones suffering the consequences of Governments and repressed from defending themselves by Religion. Viva los Putos-Ricos de Mexico
