Reuters exclusively reports Mexico probing Vitol over false import documents

Reuters exclusively reported that Mexico’s government is investigating the world’s largest independent energy trader Vitol over “irregularities” in the documenting of its refined oil products entering Mexico, which could lead to criminal charges for tax evasion. The probe is part of a drive to investigate alleged import tax violations in Mexico that targets companies including fuel providers and energy traders, just as high-profile players in the sector are increasingly under scrutiny globally for corruption allegations.
