[edit] Controversy

In 2007 Zhenli Ye Gon, a Chinese-Mexican businessman charged with drug trafficking, weapons possessions and money laundering accused Javier Lozano of forcing him to stash millions in illicit campaign funds in the walls and closets of his Mexico City mansion. Ye Gon said that Lozano threatened to kill him unless he stored duffel bags stuffed with at least $207 million USD. Lozano denied the accusations, and apparently tried to take legal action in the US agaist Ye Gon but no legal action has been reported until now. March 2008.
