In 2004, Döring gave Mexican television presenter Víctor Trujillo a video that was played on Trujillo's news program, in which René Bejarano, previously Andrés Manuel López Obrador's personal secretary, was videotaped accepting US$45,000 in cash from businessman Carlos Ahumada Kurtz.[3][4] The release of the Bejarano video set off a national political crisis and strained diplomatic relations between Mexico and Cuba.[3]
