Ex-Pemex boss faces hearing over graft charges on return to Mexico

A former boss of Mexican state oil company Petroleos Mexicanos faces an initial court hearing on Friday, an official said, as he lands in Mexico from Spain to answer corruption charges that could engulf leaders of the last government. Emilio Lozoya has been charged with bribery and money laundering dating back to his 2012-16 tenure at the helm of the firm known as Pemex. Under Mexican law, Lozoya, 45, must make an initial statement to a judge once he enters the country.
