AHOME, SIN.- Ejidatarios de Topo Viejo impusieron un cobro ilegal de casi 4 mi-llones de pesos para permitir la colocación de fibra óptica para telecomunicaciones de la empresa Megacable a lo largo de la carretera Topolo-bampo-El Maviri.

La empresa afectada acu-só que los ejidatarios han pa-rado tres veces la obra con el argumento de que esas tie-

muerte a los empleados y nos paran, lo han hecho tres veces y el Gobierno dice que no quiere intervenir con la fuerza pública, que hay que convencerlos”, acusó Enri-que Yamuni, director de la empresa.

Debido a que el Gobier-no de Sinaloa que encabeza Quirino Ordaz Coppel no in-tervino, la empresa pagó 525 mil pesos porque el acuerdo

Para la Fiscalía General de la República (FGR), la ac-tuación de Emilio Lozoya, detenido ayer en Málaga, España, forma parte de una estructura con la que pre-tendían saquear al País.

El Fiscal Alejandro Gertz Manero explicó que la fraudulenta compra de la planta chatarra de Agro Nitrogenados, por la cual se solicitó la detención del ex director de Pemex, es par-te de una serie de casos en los que van a dar con los responsables.

“Fueron conductas que se repitieron de manera muy estructurada y con el propósito de saquear al País, no veo otra opción pa-ra calificarlo de otra mane-ra”, dijo Gertz en entrevista con REFORMA.

También el titular de la Unidad de Inteligencia Financiera, Santiago Nieto, explicó ayer que Lozoya es parte de una sofistica-da red de lavado de dinero que movió decenas de mi-llones de dólares en distin-tos países.

Lozoya fue detenido por la Policía Nacional es-pañola la madrugada del miércoles y será presenta-do hoy en la Audiencia Na-cional en Madrid.

Conforme la informa-ción que hizo llegar a Espa-ña la Fiscalía mexicana, se estima en 280 millones de dólares el monto del frau-de del que es responsable lozoya como parte del en-tramado de corrupción que desarrolló actividades en-tre 2012 y 2013, cuando era director de Pemex.

En México, Gertz con-firmó que a diferencia de Alonso Ancira, quien sí pu-do ser detenido casi inme-diatamente en Mallorca, a Lozoya le siguieron la pis-ta por varios países de Eu-ropa.

Del paraíso al calabozo. Lozoya estaba prófugo desde mayo de 2019. La Policía española lo ubicó en enero pasado en Málaga y ayer fue detenido en ese puerto español y trasladado a Madrid.

Emilio Lozoya no se man-daba solo, asegura su abo-gado Javier Coello Trejo.

“En la compra de las plantas (de fertilizantes y en desuso), puedo asegu-rar que el señor Presidente (Enrique) Peña estaba en-terado, era parte del pacto.”

En la lista podrían es-tar involucrados el ex Se-cretario de Hacienda, Luis Videgaray así como los ex directores de Pemex, Juan José Suárez Coppel y José Antonio González Anaya.

Pasan charola en Palacio para “rifa” (inexistente) de avión y recursos para salud

zedryK raziel

Iban por tamales y les salie-ron caros. Unos 200 empre-sarios escucharon al Presi-dente de la República narrar los avatares para vender el avión presidencial. De pronto dijo: “Respeto mucho los lu-jos que pueda darse un em-presario, que los tienen por su trabajo y pueden viajar en helicópteros y aviones priva-dos. Los gobernantes no pue-den hacer eso porque es via-jar a costa de los impuestos que pagan ustedes”.

Algunos ni habían proba-do el chocolate y su tamal de chipilín y mejor aplaudieron de pie, por un minuto, la afir-mación del Mandatario.

Varios doblaron en el mo-mento una “carta compro-miso” que tenían en su lugar con cuatro cifras para la “coo-peración voluntaria” para la

“rifa” del avión presidencial: 20 millones, 50 millones, 100 millones o 200 millones de pesos. En secreto marcaron la cifra y colocaron el papel en una tómbola que llevaron los niños gritones de la lote-ría. Testigos dijeron que Mi-guel Rincón, de Biopapel y compadre de Andrés Manuel López Obrador, y Emilio Az-cárraga, fueron de los prime-ros en depositar su papeleta.

“El Presidente fue muy claro: ‘esto es voluntario… aquí, nadie está obligado, por-que los empresarios ya cum-plen con el pago de los im-puestos’”, contó Rincón al salir del encuentro.

Francisco Cervantes, pre-sidente de Concamin, reveló que se analiza la posibilidad

de que las empresas donan-tes reciban el beneficio de deducción de impuestos.

“Condonación no”, precisó.Entre otros asistentes

estuvieron María Asunción Aramburuzabala y Carlos Slim, sentados al lado del Presidente en la mesa prin-cipal; así como Miguel Ale-mán Velasco, Carlos Peralta y Carlos Bremer, sentados en otras mesas colocadas en el Salón Tesorería de Palacio Nacional.

“El planteamiento fue una idea de austeridad, por eso se está vendiendo el avión, y lo que se va a hacer es usar re-cursos para apoyar los pro-

gramas de gobierno de salud, con equipos para los hospita-les”, detalló Carlos Slim, pre-sidente de Grupo Carso.

Algunos empresarios no firmaron la carta ni se com-prometieron con pagos. Dije-ron que AMLO ofreció con-fidencialidad sobre la aporta-ción o una eventual negativa.

El titular de Banobras, Jorge Mendoza, detalló la ru-ta para efectuar la “rifa” de septiembre y lograr recursos para equipo médico.

Cuestionado sobre la for-ma en que se dio la propuesta de aportación, mediante una

“carta compromiso”, Carlos Bremer, comentó que lo im-

portante es “cómo apoyamos al País. Olvídate del plantea-miento. Cero presión. Yo vi a los empresarios muy suma-dos por el País”.

“¿Qué monto marcó?”, le preguntaron.

“Yo tengo que tachar se-gún mi peso”, dijo y soltó una carcajada.

Bosco de la Vega, presi-dente del Consejo Nacional Agropecuario, y quien tam-bién firmó la carta con una cantidad no precisada, iro-nizó al salir del encuentro:

“Son los tamales más caros de mi vida”.

UN EXPEDIENTE “SÓLIDO” —cuya confec-ción se inició desde Palacio Nacional—, cuentas congeladas, denuncias judicializadas, una alerta roja de Interpol y el arresto de presuntos cómpli-ces, fueron las piezas clave para que la Unidad de Fugitivos Internacionales, un cuerpo de élite de la policía española, siguiera durante meses a Emilio Lozoya, exdirector de Pemex, para finalmente detenerlo ayer en uno de los suburbios más exclusivos de Europa, en la ciudad portuaria de Málaga.

MANCHESTER, N.H. — TheDemocratic presidential primaryis entering an intensely tumul-tuous phase, after two early con-tests that have left former VicePresident Joseph R. Biden Jr. reel-ing and elevated Senator BernieSanders but failed to make anycandidate a dominant force in thebattle for the party’s nomination.

Within the Democratic estab-lishment, the results have deep-ened a mood of anxiety and frus-tration: The collapse of Mr. Bi-den’s support in the first twostates, and the fragmentation ofmoderate voters among severalother candidates, allowed Mr.Sanders, a Vermont progressive,to claim a victory in New Hamp-shire and a split decision in Iowawith former Mayor Pete Buttigiegof South Bend, Ind.

In both states, a majority of vot-ers supported candidates closer tothe political center and named de-feating President Trump as theirtop priority, but there was no over-whelming favorite among thosevoters as to which moderate wasthe best alternative to Mr. Sand-ers. Unless such a favorite soonemerges, party leaders may in-creasingly look to Michael R.Bloomberg as a potential savior.

In an unmistakable sign of Mr.Bloomberg’s growing strengthand Mr. Biden’s decline, threeblack members of Congress en-dorsed the former mayor of NewYork City on Wednesday, includ-ing Representative Lucy McBathof Georgia, a high-profile law-maker and gun-control championin her first term — and a senior ad-viser to Mr. Bloomberg told cam-paign staff that internal pollingshowed the former mayor nowtied with Mr. Biden amongAfrican-Americans in March pri-mary states.

The turmoil in the party has thepotential to extend the primaryseason, exacerbating internal di-visions and putting off the head-ache of uniting for the generalelection for months.

The Democrats’ proportionalsystem of allocating delegatescould make it all but impossible toavert such an outcome. With nowinner-take-all contests, and noindication yet that Mr. Sanderscan broaden his appeal or that amoderate can coalesce support,the candidates are poised to keepsplitting delegates three or fourways, as they did in Iowa and NewHampshire.

“We are obviously going to havea longer battle here,” said MarkMellman, a Democratic pollsterwho directed an anti-Sanders adcampaign in Iowa.

The leading candidates areplainly worried about the party’sdivisions, and signaled as much in

The news seemed to be pos-itive: The number of new coro-navirus cases reported in Chinaover the past week suggested thatthe outbreak might be slowing —that containment efforts wereworking.

But on Thursday, officials add-ed more than 14,840 new cases tothe tally of the infected in HubeiProvince alone, bringing the totalnumber to 48,206, the largest one-day increase so far recorded. Thedeath toll in the province rose to1,310, including 242 new deaths.

The sharp rise in reported casesillustrates how hard it has been forscientists to grasp the extent andseverity of the coronavirus out-break in China, particularly insidethe epicenter, where thousands ofsick people remain untested forthe illness.

Confronted by so many peoplewith symptoms and no easy wayto test them, authorities appear tohave changed the way the illnessis identified.

Hospitals in Wuhan, China —the largest city in Hubei Provinceand the center of the epidemic —have struggled to diagnose infec-tions with scarce and complicatedtests that detect the virus’s genet-ic signature directly. Other coun-tries, too, have had such issues.

Instead, officials in Hubei nowseem to be including infections di-

CONCORD, N.H. — SenatorAmy Klobuchar knew she mighthave an opportunity in NewHampshire’s presidential prima-ry.

As a fiscally moderate Demo-crat who opposes the “Medicarefor all” and free four-year collegeplans of her liberal rivals, Ms.Klobuchar was in sync with thesmaller-government tilt of plentyof Democrats in the state. Her em-phasis on bipartisanship andpragmatism was a fit with NewHampshire’s large number of un-affiliated voters, or independents,who could participate in the Dem-ocratic primary. And she oftenmentioned her support for NewHampshire’s two centrist female

senators, Jeanne Shaheen andMaggie Hassan.

So in the aftermath of the cha-otic Iowa caucuses, where herfifth-place finish might have de-railed other candidates, Ms.Klobuchar placed a series of betson New Hampshire that paid offbig on Tuesday night with her sur-prise third-place finish in the pri-mary. While she now has a hugechallenge ahead — competing forsupport from Hispanic voters inNevada and black voters in South

Carolina, where she is far behindin polls — the fact that Ms.Klobuchar has a shot is because ofan 11th-hour surge here that isusually the stuff of dreams forcandidates.

The first bet came last week.With Ms. Klobuchar running justthree percentage points behindformer Vice President Joseph R.Biden Jr. in the Iowa caucus re-sults, her campaign saw room togrow with moderate voters, anddecided to charter a plane to bringmore than 20 staff members fromthe Iowa campaign to New Hamp-shire to mount a furious six-daysprint.

That move nearly doubled Ms.Klobuchar’s team on the ground inNew Hampshire — a relatively

WASHINGTON — Peoplewarned Marc Benioff, the billion-aire chief executive of Salesforce,not to bother talking to the WhiteHouse about global warming. ButMr. Benioff, a tech mogul and anenvironmental philanthropist, feltsure he had found a climate

change solution that even Presi-dent Trump could love: plantingtrees.

Never mind that the idea camefrom former Vice President AlGore, who has demanded Mr.Trump’s resignation over his ener-gy policies. Never mind that Mr.Trump has begun the yearlongprocess of withdrawing Americafrom the Paris Agreement on cli-

mate change, mocked GretaThunberg, the teenage climate ac-tivist, and worked to eliminate ev-ery regulation aimed at reducingplanet-warming emissions.

The idea of planting one trilliontrees had one enormous politicaladvantage: It was practically sac-rifice-free, no war on coal, no tran-sition from fossil fuels, no energyconservation or investment in re-

newable sources of power that Mr.Trump loves to mock, like thewindmills that cause cancer or thesolar panels that are not “strongenough.”

“I just knew this is a really goodidea. I said, ‘I will pitch it and seewhat happens,’” Mr. Benioff said.“Even my chief of staff said to me,

VATICAN CITY — Pope Fran-cis has for now rejected a land-mark proposal by bishops to allowthe ordination of married men inremote areas underserved bypriests, a potentially momentouschange that conservatives hadwarned could set the Roman Cath-olic Church on a path toward lift-ing priestly celibacy and weak-ening church traditions.

The decision, in a papal lettermade public on Wednesday, waswelcomed by conservatives, but itwas a major setback for many ofthe Catholics who see Francis astheir best hope for bringing funda-

mental change to the church.With the church facing a short-

age of priests and increasing com-petition from evangelicals inmany countries, the idea of open-ing up the priesthood to marriedmen had held broad appeal for lib-erals worried about the church’sfuture.

Coming seven years into Fran-cis’ papacy, his decision alsoraised the question of whether hispromotion of discussing once-ta-boo issues is resulting in a pontifi-cate that is largely talk.

Funding Crackdown at Ivys

WASHINGTON — For decadesafter Watergate, the White Housetreated the Justice Departmentwith the softest of gloves, fearfulthat any appearance of politicalinterference would resurrect thespecter of Attorney General JohnMitchell helping President Rich-ard M. Nixon carry out a criminalconspiracy for political ends.

In 2001, William P. Barr, describ-ing his first stint as attorney gen-eral, under President GeorgeBush, spoke of the department’sprotected status in the post-Wa-tergate era. “You didn’t messaround with it, didn’t intervene,you didn’t interfere,” he recalled inan oral history.

Fast forward to 2020, and Mr.Barr is attorney general oncemore. But President Trump’sground-shaking conduct has de-molished those once-sacrosanctguardrails. Mr. Barr’s interven-tion to lessen a prison sentencingrecommendation for the presi-dent’s convicted friend Roger J.Stone Jr. prompted all four careerprosecutors handling the matterto quit the case.

To career prosecutors aroundthe country, the Stone case raisednew fears of what is to come. Untilnow, according to conversationswith more than a dozen careerlawyers in some of the 93 U.S. at-torney’s offices, they had watchedother divisions in the Justice De-partment execute significantshifts in response to Mr. Trumpwhile the work of prosecutingcrimes was largely unaffected bythe politics of the moment. Nowcareer prosecutors said they wor-ried they might face more pres-sure.

“In essence, the leadership ofthe Justice Department has com-mandeered the sentencing in a po-litically sensitive criminal matter,reversing the position uniformlyaccepted and promoted by the ca-reer prosecutors,” said DavidLaufman, a partner at Wiggin andDana and a former chief of theJustice Department’s counterin-telligence and export control sec-tion.

The withdrawal of the prosecu-tors sent a clear signal, said GregBrower, a former prosecutor whoonce headed the F.B.I.’s congres-sional affairs office. “They all dis-agreed” with how top Justice De-partment officials intervened, hesaid.

“Beyond that,” Mr. Brower said,“they likely also believed thereare ethical considerations thatforced their decision.”

Larry Sanders was chatting with

friends in South L.A.’s Green Meadows

Recreation Center in April when two

police officers approached. They said

they had received a call about people

drinking in the park.

The officers asked them to lift up

their shirts, Sanders recalled. The 59-

year-old singer, known for his vocals on

Coolio’s hit “Gangsta’s Paradise,”

showed them a tattoo of a cross on his

left arm.

About two weeks later, Sanders re-

ceived a letter that said he would be

added to CalGang, the statewide gang

database. He was shocked. He had

worked in the park for years as a gang

interventionist for the city’s Summer

Night Lights program.

“I wasn’t what they were claiming

me to be,” said Sanders. “I can’t just ac-

cept it.”

In fact, everyone who has chal-

lenged the LAPD’s decision to place

them or their child in the gang data-

base in court has successfully had their

name removed, according to a Times

review of records and interviews.

Sanders was among 15 people who

appealed their LAPD CalGang desig-

nation. The city lost two cases in court,

and the LAPD agreed to remove 13 oth-

ers who subsequently filed petitions,

the analysis found.

Petitioners like Sanders say their re-

movals show that they never should

have been on the list in the first place

and that the evidence used to put them

on the database was flimsy.

Los Angeles Police Department offi-

cials, however, say the removals were

due to how the court interpreted a state

law that prohibits them from submit-

ting more evidence to the court than

they originally disclosed to petitioners.

The department insists the remov-

als don’t suggest it is putting people

in the database

LARRY SANDERS, 59, a singer and gang interventionist, was stopped by police last year at a South L.A.recreation center and placed in a gang database. “I wasn’t what they were claiming me to be,” he said.

WASHINGTON — Six

days before President

Trump chose Robert O’Bri-

en as his national security

advisor in September, the

president said the job would

be simple.

“You know why it’s easy?”

Trump told reporters. “Be-

cause I make all the deci-

sions. They don’t have to

work.”

As a key White House ad-

visor, O’Brien clearly works

— but he meets Trump’s

other job requirements: He

avoids publicity, he gets out

of the way on policy deci-

sions, and he dismisses em-

ployees Trump views as

meddlesome.

Unlike his predecessors,

John Bolton or H.R. McMas-

ter, who pursued their own

agendas or tried to block

some of Trump’s impulses,

O’Brien has taken a wreck-

ing ball to parts of the Na-

tional Security Council, the

intelligence and foreign pol-

icy hub of the White House,

to satisfy a president who

doesn’t trust experts, is sus-

picious of career govern-

ment employees, and acts

on his own whims.

Long before O’Brien had

security guards escort Lt.

Col. Alexander Vindman, a

key witness in Trump’s im-

peachment case, and his

twin brother, Lt. Col. Yev-

geny Vindman, an ethics

lawyer, out of the White

House on Friday, O’Brien

had dismissed or trans-

ferred about 70 people, or

about one-third of those em-

ployed by or temporarily as-

signed to the NSC, accord-

ing to senior administration

The words of a centuries-old

prayer rose in the balmy air

and echoed over the graves,

hypnotic in the rhythms of

ancient Aramaic but no less

weighty in translation:

Glorified and sanctified be God’sgreat name throughout the world.

The kaddish, the Jewish prayer of

mourning, had rarely if ever been spoken

at this vast American military cemetery

in south Manila, the final resting place of

17,058 U.S. soldiers from the Second

World War.

Atop a quiet plateau, the names of

young service members who lost their

lives in the Philippines and South Pacific,

oft-forgotten battlefields of the deadliest

conflict in history, are etched on row upon

row of identical white marble gravestones

— nearly all in the shape of the Latin

cross, the symbol of Christianity.

But not all the Americans laid to rest

here are Christians.

At least five Jewish soldiers were

buried under a cross when they were

entitled to a Star of David on their grave-

stones. Many of their relatives, living

halfway around the world, had no idea.

The U.S. military blames clerical errors,

miscommunication with families or

incorrect information in the records of

the soldiers, some of whom may have

concealed their faith.

The mistakes stood for decades —

until a group of Jewish scholars and

researchers launched a project to correct

the record at U.S. military cemeteries

around the world. In solemn ceremonies

Wednesday,

RABBI JOHN Franken says a eulogy for his uncle, Pvt. Allan C. Franken. A Star of David gravestone has replaced a decades-old Latin cross marker.

SEOUL — For nine years,

South Korean poet Shin

Hyun-rim and her daughter

resided in a netherworld sev-

en steps below the street.

In the heart of Seoul, a

stone’s throw from the presi-

dential residence and sky-

scrapers housing the likes of

Samsung, Shin and her

daughter lived in a banjiha— a semi-basement apart-

ment with scant sunlight

and dirt-cheap rent, that for

many South Koreans is a

last resort, a rite of passage

or a low-slung pit stop on the

way to something better.

“You can’t tell whether

it’s night or daytime,” said

Shin, 58, who moved to a

fourth-floor walk-up about

two years ago. “It’s a good

place to dream. Your imagi-

nation is what gets you

through it.”

The halfway under-

ground banjiha home fig-

ures prominently in South

Korean director Bong Joon

Ho’s dark comedy “Para-

site,” a stark depiction of

the rock-bottom existence

the movie’s Kim family tries

to claw out of and then

descends back into.

Bong has said the tanta-

lizing in-betweenness of the

semi-basement was a major

inspiration in making his

thriller exploring class dis-

parities, which has con-

nected with audiences

around the world and made

history at Sunday’s Oscars

by becoming the first non-

English-language film to win

best picture.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Von

Miller knows that Joe Biden

is counting on folks like him,

a black Democratic voter in

South Carolina, to help sal-

vage his presidential cam-

paign after crushing defeats

in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Yet Miller still can’t de-

cide whether the former vice

president has earned his

vote.

The 45-year-old middle

school teacher in Columbia

said he values Biden’s dec-

ades of experience in Wash-

ington and thinks he has the

clout to push his policies

through Congress. But

Miller cannot shake the feel-

ing that Biden lacks the

oomph to beat President

Trump and that he’s coast-

ing on the coattails of his re-

lationship with former Pres-

ident Obama.

“I just need to see him

hustle a bit more,” Miller

said. “The message seems to

be, ‘I’m Joe Biden. I know

you’re going to vote for me.’

It’s almost like just because

he was Barack’s old running

mate, he assumes he’s got

the black vote in the bag.”

Miller is also considering

voting for Pete Buttigieg, the

former mayor of South

Bend, Ind.

That’s bad news for Bid-

en, who rushed here Tues-

day night before the results

from New Hampshire were

all in. He now counts on an

overwhelming victory in

South Carolina’s Feb. 29 pri-

mary to dispel the narrative

that he is doomed.

“It ain’t over, man,” he

told a crowd of supporters in

Columbia. “Up till now, we
