The treasure in question would have a origin in the period of Porfirio Díaz, who with the intention of making a “long-term investment”, made a deposit of 50 million pesos in gold abroad for the payment of the Agrarian Public Debt (DPA) of native peoples, from the land expropriated from landowners as part of the creation of ejidos.

Well, he met him informally and was later redirected to an interview with Alfonso Romo, head of the Presidency, who promised to review the information delivered by Montijo, in which was the Technical sheet of the Private Mixed Fund and the Background of the Reserve Fund for Indigenous Peoples North of the country.

“And I, I recognize that I was weak by allowing me send to attend this the second or the third, why this he has to attend to, because the second and third the package was too big for them, “said Montijo Luján.
