After the events of 2014, Adolfo Autrey Da Costa attempted various business projects, none of which have come to fruition. In 2019, the companies Bang Bang Capital, with the aim of marketing pharmaceutical and cosmetic products, and Mxtracts were established; however, neither of them has been able to start operations.
Subsequently, in October 2020, they reactivated the company Monclova Concentration Technology, in which Adolfo Autrey and his sister Myriam participate as members of the Board of Directors. The company also failed to get off the ground. Years earlier, the Autrey Da Costa siblings had already tried unsuccessfully to enter the steel business: in 2012, Adolfo Autrey Da Costa and his sisters founded Grupo Siderúrgico Escorpión, a company that failed to gain any market share.
On the other hand, Adolfo Autrey Da Costa appears in the Paradise Papers records, which revealed that he runs Colaider Investissements, a company incorporated in 2016 in Barbados, a tax haven. That same year, he also incorporated Red Flower Capital, LTD, in the United Kingdom, although it was closed down in 2024 due to inactivity. In 2018, he also incorporated a company in Belgium, Emerald City Civil Company, which has no activities.
Perhaps this series of failed projects was what motivated Autrey Da Costa to try to incite some AHMSA workers to revolt against the agreement negotiated by the government, its shareholders, and the judicial authorities, in the face of a forced bankruptcy by former President López Obrador.
Adolfo Autrey Da Costa is currently a sales representative for e3 Estrategia Energía Eléctrica, a company dedicated to the supply of electrical energy, established as a result of the energy reforms promoted during Enrique Peña Nieto’s six-year term. Both the company and its main founder, Alberto Julio Pani Bano, have been singled out in the media for their involvement in a criminal case of corruption in the construction of a photovoltaic plant contracted by the government of Baja California in 2019, then led by Morena member Jaime Bonilla Valdez, to the companies Next Energy de México and Estrategia Energía Eléctrica Comercializadora. The State Attorney General’s Office stated that this project was authorized, contracted, and paid for without federal authorization, causing an alleged loss of 12 billion pesos to the state treasury, a process for which several members of the state cabinet, the former governor himself, and Pani Bano were charged. The crimes of which the prosecutor’s office accuses some of those mentioned are “corruption, embezzlement, abuse of authority, collusion of public servants, illegal exercise of public service, illegal use of powers and authority, and improper embezzlement.”
Adolfo Autrey hired his niece, Vera Enriquez Autrey, as an intern at the company. Her brother, Arturo Francisco, was director of Procurement and Supply at PEMEX, appointed by Emilio Lozoya Austin and later investigated by the authorities for corruption, conflict of interest, and for his poor management of the state-owned company, from which he attempted to benefit Altos Hornos de México, as well as companies involved in the scandal: OHL, Repsol, and Oceanografía.
Today, Autrey lives on his salary as an employee of that company, as well as on the resources of his wife, Charlotte Emma Tremayne Myners, who inherited from her father, an English baron, Paul Myners, who was chairman of Guardian Media Group, a member of the House of Lords, and Minister for the City in Gordon Brown’s government.
