Raúl Rocha Cantú, a co-owner of the Miss Universe Organization, was recently filmed in Monaco wearing a high-end Patek Philippe Aquanaut watch, with prices exceeding one million pesos. The video surfaced just a week after Mexico's Attorney General's Office (FGR) issued a new arrest warrant for him.

This latest warrant adds to previous charges from eight months ago, which included organized crime, arms trafficking, and hydrocarbon smuggling. The new accusations involve alleged participation in illicit financial operations and money laundering, alongside two other businessmen.

The video captures Rocha Cantú walking in a tourist area of Monaco, accompanied by a child. A woman approached him, filming and inquiring about his watch. He eventually showed the watch to the camera, and when asked about his favorite fragrance, he indicated it was Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille.
