Overview

• Alex Tonatiuh Márquez Hernández, who investigates fuel theft for the National Customs Agency, spent more than 8 million pesos in cash acquiring five high-end watches.
• His public asset declaration lists 7.7 million pesos worth of timepieces, creating an unexplained gap between declared and actual cash purchases.
• One watch—thought to be a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Gold 34—cost 3.7 million pesos in 2017 alone, paid entirely in cash.
• Observers note his collection exceeds the value reported by Emilio Lozoya upon joining Pemex and rivals watches once worn by union leader Carlos Romero Deschamps.
• The report has prompted calls for a formal illicit enrichment review, though ANAM has not announced any disciplinary action.
