A top aide to Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto resigned Wednesday after questions were raised about a possible conflict of interest arising from his role as an outside director of Spanish utility Iberdrola.

Jesus Ramirez Stabros sent a resignation letter to presidential chief of staff Aurelio Nuño, official sources told Efe.

Ramirez Stabros, 51, also advised Nuño that he had asked the government inspector-general's office to investigate the alleged conflict of interest.

"In recent days, people have asked whether there was a conflict of interest in my having remained as an outside director of the Iberdrola firm - a position I was offered in 2009 and which I resigned from in June," Ramirez Stabros wrote.

"I am convinced that my conflict has always been strictly in accord with the law," he continued. "However, I have made the personal decision to present my resignation."

Ramirez Stabros joined the Peña Nieto government in February 2013.
