“Miss Mexico is a Fake winner. I Omar Harfouch declared yesterday exclusively on the Americain HBO, 24 hours before the Miss Universe final, that Miss Mexico would win—because Miss Universe owner Raúl Rocha is in business with Fatima Bosch’s father,” he said in a statement posted on social media.

Ex-Miss Universe judge Omar Harfouch alleges pageant president Raúl Rocha has business links with winner Fatima Bosch's father, claiming results were predetermined through corporate interests.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum celebrated Bosch's victory Friday, applauding her as an example for women.
