Raúl Rocha Cantú, co-owner of Miss Universo, was recently spotted in Monaco and filmed by an Instagram fashion account while walking with a child on June 7, according to published reports. The video emerged just one week after the Fiscalía General de la República (FGR) issued a new arrest warrant against him.
Legal Charges and FGR Investigation Details
Federal authorities previously issued a first arrest warrant against Rocha Cantú eight months prior to the latest filing, citing alleged crimes including organized crime, arms trafficking, and hydrocarbon smuggling. According to the FGR, the newly added judicial mandate accuses the businessman of participating in operations involving illicit resources alongside two other businessmen, as well as alleged money laundering.

Monaco Appearance and Viral Fashion Video
While walking down Boulevard des Moulins in Monaco on June 7, Rocha Cantú wore dark sunglasses and held a child’s hand in a high-traffic tourist zone. A collaborator from the Instagram account “Class of Palm Beach” approached the businessman to question him about his outfit and accessories. When asked about his wristwatch, the Mexican investor displayed the timepiece to the camera without speaking. The item corresponds to the Patek Philippe Aquanaut collection, carrying market values exceeding one million pesos, though the brand was not spoken aloud in the footage.
Following the watch exchange, the interviewer asked for his favorite fragrance. After a translation from an accompanying woman heard in the background of the video, Rocha Cantú confirmed that his preferred scent is Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford. Other members of his family traveling with him were similarly questioned regarding their designer apparel.
