Peña Nieto Reappears at Spain Charity Golf Tournament With Nadal, Casillas

Mexican prosecutors keep open corruption probes, including a Pegasus‑bribery line he has publicly denied.

Overview

  • The former Mexican president played Thursday at La Herrería in San Lorenzo de El Escorial in a fundraiser for breast cancer organized by Fundación Clínica Menorca.
  • He completed the 18‑hole course alongside Rafael Nadal, Iker Casillas and Raúl González, with Madrid mayor José Luis Martínez‑Almeida also taking part.
  • Mexico’s ambassador to Spain, Quirino Ordaz, attended the event, which the foundation has staged for 24 years to support research and prevention.
  • Peña Nieto has lived in Madrid since 2018 and obtained Spanish residency under a “gran inversor” status.
  • The FGR announced probes in 2022 into alleged illicit enrichment, money laundering and electoral crimes, and in July opened an inquiry tied to reported $25 million Pegasus‑related bribes that he rejects.
