During at least two years, top Veracruz state officials close to Gov. Javier Duarte awarded government contracts to a closed network of 21 companies whose very existence is doubtful. The secretariats that approved the contracts can’t confirm that anybody ever received the products. What’s known for sure is that the 645 million pesos that the 73 contracts cost the state treasury are gone.

On May 24, El Daily Post published the first installment of an investigative report by their sister publication Animal Político that explored how carefully managed bidding processes and a network of questionable companies helped steer 645 million pesos from the state treasury to ... who knows where?
