We uncovered multi-million dollar businesses at ASIPONA Dos Bocas; now, fuel theft and internal fuel theft.
***In this installment, we will reveal the names of those involved with the companies DUXON, Pegsa, and Sepiver, as well as the complicity of Director Hugo Daniel Torres May and his associates.
Following the publication titled: “Omar Anitúa Valdovinos and Adrián Falcón Durán, owners of Consorcio DUXON under investigation at ASIPONA Dos Bocas,” with the link: https://periodicoveraz.com/omar-anitua-valdovinos-y…/, an internal investigation was launched into the businesses at ASIPONA Dos Bocas, including these two businessmen, as well as the collusion of its director, Captain Hugo Daniel Torres May, who will be removed from his position at the end of April, along with his accomplices, accused of corruption, abuse of power, and fraud in the awarding of contracts through direct bidding. In this report, we will reveal the fuel theft, naming and assigning positions to those involved in a multi-million dollar operation that has effectively hijacked ASIPONA Dos Bocas. Interestingly, the company Pegsa SA de CV is also implicated.
The first to be dismissed is Luis Pérez Sánchez, CPA, who held the position of Administration and Finance Manager at ASIPONA Dos Bocas. His replacement is the legal manager, Antonio Gaytán Ornelas, who will be tasked with investigating the administrative irregularities and the awarding of multi-million dollar contracts through direct bidding, in violation of the Federal Procurement Law.
The same internal investigation highlights the name of Captain Jorge Asunción Méndez Flores, who works in the Port Protection Sub-Agency. He is the main person responsible for enabling the fuel theft carried out by Pegsa SA de CV, owned by Omar Anitúa Valdovinos and Adrián Falcón Durán. These individuals paid bribes and stole fuel for their trucks and heavy machinery, fuel that belongs to PEMEX.
Another individual involved in the theft of PEMEX fuel is the Assistant Manager of Administration, Rogelio Silván Lanestosa, who was complicit in awarding contracts to Pegsa SA de CV by funneling the money through other registered companies. Along with Silván, Engineer Ronals Iván Martínez Alejandro, who claims to be the Head of the Bidding and Contracts Department, also operated in this way. Martínez Alejandro was responsible for creating the bid packages so that Omar Anitúa and Adrián Falcón could win the contracts. As a reward, these businessmen paid him 100,000 pesos for manipulating the contracts and ensuring their approval.
And where there are lucrative deals, there’s always a boss. This is the case with the Engineering Manager, Engineer Antonio García Linares, who oversaw the entire contract allocation process, which resulted in the contracts being awarded to Pegsa SA de CV. García Linares orchestrated the entire awarding process for the first contract related to the construction of the breakwater and conspired to secure the second multi-million dollar contract, number ASIPONADBO-OP-004/25. As a reward, Antonio García Linares receives a monthly kickback of $300,000 pesos, as well as a “bonus.” Grupo DUXON paid for the lavish wedding of García Linares’s daughter in Córdoba.
Of particular note is Captain Manuel Fernando Gutiérrez Gallardo, the current coordinator of Ports and Merchant Marine in Mexico, which reports to the Secretariat of the Navy (SEMAR). He is the same person who introduced Omar Anitúa and Adrián Falcón to Hugo Daniel Torres May, who would later become the director of ASIPONA Dos Bocas, at a restaurant in the Veracruz-Boca del Río metropolitan area. Gutiérrez Gallardo instructed Torres May to treat them properly, as they were trusted associates. It was during this meeting that Omar Anitúa and Adrián Falcón handed over one million pesos to Hugo Daniel Torres, promising to give them complete control over the ASIPONA Dos Bocas construction projects.
It’s worth mentioning that at ASIPONA Tampico, the coordinator of Ports and Merchant Marine, Manuel Fernando Gutiérrez Gallardo, as well as businessmen Omar Anutúa and Adrián Falcón, had spoken with the then-director of ASIPONA Tampico before his dismissal regarding the issue of tax evasion and the network that manipulated surveillance systems to unload illegal fuel. The case of Francisco Javier Antonio Martínez, former director of Administration and Finance, stands out; he was linked to the irregular importation of 10 million liters of fuel, as reported in the following article: https://www.infobae.com/…/despiden-a-30-empleados-de…/ It’s also worth recalling that on May 20, 2025, Rubén Vargas Suárez was dismissed from his position. He had been appointed in January 2025 and had formed alliances with Consorcio DUXON and the company Pegsa SA de CV, owned by Omar Anitúa and Adrián Falcón. The arrangement between these crooks fell apart, who tried to hijack the contracts in ASIPONA Tampico, as they did in ASIPONA Dos Bocas.
The article https://www.milenio.com/…/jaime-herrera-romo-asume… revealed the appointment of Jaime Herrera Romo, a security expert, as the new director of ASIPONA Tampico. He is the third head of the bonded warehouse in six months, but most importantly, he did not engage in the agreements or fraudulent activities that Pegsa SA de CV and Consorcio DUXON attempted to carry out. The same investigation confirms that Pegsa’s owners also spoke with ASIPONA Tampico’s director, Rubén Vargas Suárez, before he was removed from his position due to the fuel theft scandal. They, along with the coordinator of Ports and Merchant Marine, Manuel Fernando Gutiérrez Gallardo, awarded the contract for the construction of the breakwaters at ASIPONA Tampico directly, without a bidding process. The project was overseen by Luis Fernando Herrera Cotera, director of Sepiver. Let’s not forget that this Port Coordinator came from Ensenada, Baja California, and served as director of ASIPONA Ensenada during Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s administration. It was through him that the construction of the control tower was awarded to Omar Anitúa and Adrián Falcón, and from there, Gutiérrez Gallardo jumped to the Port Coordination position. He was given an armored Suburban for his personal use, and all his personal expenses were paid through a scheme involving “Architect Adrián” and the company Pegsa SA de CV.
Last Friday, news broke of mass dismissals of high-ranking officials at the Dos Bocas National Port System Administration (ASIPONA), the first being Director Hugo Daniel Torres May, amid an investigation into tax evasion and the illegal direct awarding of contracts at the Port of Dos Bocas.
The ASIPONA Tampico breakwaters were placed under the management of the director of Sepiver, another company belonging to the DUXON Consortium, headed by Luis Fernando Herrera Cotera, another childhood friend of Omar Anitúa Valdovinos and Adrián Falcón Durán. The only problem was that the Tampico breakwater project was delayed due to the change in director, following the dissemination of information about tax-evading fuel in international and national media, as well as the case of the admirals—nephews of the Secretary of the Navy, José Rafael Ojeda Durán—who were stealing fuel. The security company for this case was part of the DUXON Consortium, operating under the name SEPIVER, owned by Omar Anitúa and Adrián Falcón.
And returning to Paraíso, Tabasco, we must not forget that when Omar and Adrián began the construction project at ASIPONA Dos Bocas, they had no access to work, since Licenciado Fabián Arturo Martínez Cruz, head of the Security Services Area at ASIPONA Dos Bocas, being a federal official in charge of security, did not allow access to the area, nor to the trucks or the equipment. This led Anitúa and Falcón to make a deal with Fabián Arturo Martínez, who told them that he didn’t want money and preferred to do business. Therefore, they agreed that Martínez Cruz would sell them fuel to avoid problems with him, since he was the head of security and could bring in his fuel. They started the business using a red Nissan pickup truck, transporting 1,000 liters every day, bringing in the fuel during the early morning hours. The fuel was stolen from outside the construction site. And when it became difficult for him to obtain stolen fuel, he would buy fuel at gas stations, and because of his position, he would take the truck through the Pemex checkpoint and then supply the fuel to the company Pegsa SA de CV, of the DUXON Consortium.
