Just some clarification in this case. These scientist serve in a public board called "Foro Consultivo Científico y Tecnológico A.C." that board was create by law and approved by the congress to operate. The funds were from the government and authorize in the budged of the nation. So no money laundry or other crazy accusation is real. Also this board was for helping any government (local or federal) with problems that need some sort of science.

NO, is not allowed
