"As of today, neither Hulse nor his Mexican lawyers have ever provided one piece of solid evidence to support their claims or statements against Mr. Sanchez Ritchie," said C.E. Cortes.

"Despite Energia Costa Azul, having filed a grievance with the court, Mr. Sanchez Ritchie's Mexican legal team believes that the plant closure will occur next week because of the significant irregularities in the modification of the permits that the court found were petitioned irresponsibly by Sempra and subsequently issued by a corrupt officer of the Mexican Environmental Agency (SEMARNAT), to Sempra LNG's Energia Costa Azul. Mr. Sanchez Ritchie will be seeking all available remedies against this irresponsible officer of SEMARNAT," said C.E. Cortes.
