		In its Complaint, the Commission alleged that Salinas and others caused TV Azteca or Azteca Holdings to file periodic reports that did not disclose Salinas's involvement in related party transactions between Unefon, a subsidiary of TV Azteca, and a private entity secretly co-owned by Salinas, called Codisco.
		In the related party transactions, Salinas purchased from a third party-at a steep discount-approximately $325 million of indebtedness owed by Unefon to the third party.
		At the time that Salinas purchased the indebtedness, he was aware that Unefon was in negotiations with another large telecom company which would provide substantial cash to Unefon, and enable Unefon to pay off the full amount of the indebtedness that Salinas had purchased at a discount.

		Salinas himself is convinced that he now has the right formula, and he is banking on the synergies from his holdings in retail, entertainment and financial services.
