The television host, Inés Gómez Mont, said in an Instagram post that she had learned of the arrest warrant against her and her husband, the businessman, Víctor Manuel Álvarez Puga, from the media, but said she was ready to face the legal process.
“We have not had access to that order or the evidence to justify it. Only to press reports with partial and intentionally leaked information.”

The Attorney General’s Office (FGR) is investigating the alleged diversion of 2.95 billion pesos from the Ministry of the Interior (Segob) during the administration of Miguel Ángel Osorio Chong, now a senator of the PRI, through the award of contracts to shell companies.
The FGR yesterday obtained an arrest warrant against the lawyer and businessman Víctor Manuel Álvarez Puga and his wife, Gómez Mont, for their alleged responsibility in the crimes of operations with resources of illicit origin, organized crime and embezzlement.
A federal investigation to which Animal Político had access indicates that Álvarez Puga and Gómez Mont would have been the final beneficiaries of the alleged millionaire diversion operated with the Segob through 1,446 banking operations to triangulate and launder the resources.
