Mexico: Peña Nieto’s Inexperienced Niece Holds High Position in Pemex

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto is embroiled in yet another corruption scandal after it was revealed that one of his nieces has held a top executive position in the state-owned oil company Pemex since 2014, less than a year after she graduated from university. In 2014, Maria Fernanda Said Pretelini was hired as highly-paid coordinator in Pemex's press office, in spite of her lack of experience or knowledge for the position. Her salary was five times that of any other person of her age or level of experience. teleSUR
