Javier Lozano Alarcón (born November 21, 1962) is a Mexican politician who serves as Secretary of Labor in the cabinet of President Felipe Calderón.[1][2]
He was telecoms consultant.[3] Lozano has served as president of the Federal Telecommunications Commission (COFETEL).[4]
In 2007, Zhenli Ye Gon, a Chinese-Mexican businessman charged with drug trafficking, weapons possessions and money laundering, accused Javier Lozano of forcing him to stash millions in illicit campaign funds, in the walls and closets of his Mexico City mansion.[5] Ye Gon said that Lozano threatened to kill him, unless he stored duffel bags stuffed with at least $207 million USD.[6] Lozano denied the accusations,[7] and apparently tried to take legal action in the US against Ye Gon, but no legal action has been reported in 2008.[8]
