Arturo Grinberg was accused by Miguel Ángel Vásquez, former financial undersecretary of Miguel Ángel Mancera and collaborating witness for the Mexico City attorney general’s office, of allegedly being the namesake of brothers Luis Ernesto and Julio Serna Chávez.
Luis Ernesto Serna Chávez, in turn, served as Mancera’s private secretary when he was head of government in Mexico City, while Julio Serna Chávez was chief of staff.
According to investigations by the Mexico Attorney General’s Office, the Serna Chávez brothers omitted various properties in their asset declarations, for which they were accused of illicit enrichment. In the scheme used by the Sernas, Arturo Grinberg appears as the alleged leader.
According to data from the Public Commercial Registry, Arturo Grinberg is a shareholder in the companies Mitsu Interlomas, Ecodry Carwash de México, Empresas Grebni, Grinb Controladora, Tetush and Tenedora Aysg, which merged in October 2018 with Interlomas Mundo Automotriz.
Interlomas Mundo Automotriz obtained public contracts in Mexico City with the Citizen Security Secretariat and the mayors of Gustavo A. Madero, Iztapalapa, Venustiano Carranza and Álvaro Obregón. In turn, in the State of Mexico, it won tenders from the municipalities of Huixquilucan and Toluca, as well as the Chamber of Deputies.
