Businessmen Olegario Vázquez Raña and Olegario Vázquez Aldir, owners of news media outlets, hotels and hospitals have two companies called Radar Global LTD, Mundella Global Inc. and Albion Hall Holdings LTD, which appear in the list of the so-called Bahamas Leaks.

OffshoreCrimson Worldwide and Grantley Ventures, are owned by Ricardo Pierdant.

Former governor of Nuevo León Fernando Canales owns the company Yukali Subsidiary Corp.

The name of the TV host and director of BB Tips magazine, Martha Debayle López, appears as the owner of Camuchito Ltd., established in 2011.
