Enrique PeƱa Nieto reappears in Italy alongside businessman Avishai Neriah amid allegations of bribery.

Former Mexican President Enrique PeƱa Nieto recently reappeared in public at a private wedding in Portofino, Italy. He was seen attending the ceremony of Israeli singer Omer Adam and Sasha Israelovitch, where he wore a kippah and sat in the front row. Notably, Enrique PeƱa Nieto appeared alongside businessman Avishai Neriah, who has been linked to the commercialization of the Pegasus spy software in Mexico. This appearance follows a recent investigation by the Israeli newspaper TheMarker, which revealed that Avishai Neriah and partner Uri Ansbacher allegedly invested up to $25 million in PeƱa Nieto during his administration to secure lucrative contracts and government access. While PeƱa Nieto rejected the accusations, calling them a conspiracy lacking any basis, the General Prosecutor's Office has opened an investigation file to review the allegations. The case highlights the potential corruption involving the former president's term, as the arbitration documents cited by the Israeli media suggested the investment was primarily intended to finance political expenses.
