"According to the Mexican oil company, more than 250 million dollars worth of crude has been stolen from its pipeline in four months of this year. If the loss of last year is added to that of this year, PEMEX’s total loss will be close to its 350 million dollars profit for the first quarter of the year.
The Mexican authorities and chiefs of PEMEX say that the large scale theft is committed not only by local smugglers, but in conjunction with their American colleagues, who mastermind the creation of clandestine routes through which stolen goods are spirited away from Mexico. The smugglers are aided and abetted by the huge American market, which snaps up all goods without bothering about their origin, says Constantine Simonov, Director General of the National Energy Security Foundation.
“It is immoral for American companies to trade in stolen goods. It is erroneous to believe that American firms act only within the purview of the law. According to Carl Marx, there is no crime which capital cannot commit for the sake of profits. It is the pillar on which business is based in the U.S. The Mexican government cannot prove a case of conspiracy, although such is glaring," Simonov asserts"............LINK
