Carlos Mouriño

[1] He worked for a local travel agency and as a car accessory salesperson before moving to Madrid, becoming head of administration at the Riomiño metalworks and director general of Nautrónica, an American transport and arms company.

After two armed attacks on his hotels, and wishing to spend more time with his family, he bought a chain of five petrol stations in Campeche in 1985, buying the shares from his two business partners three years later.

[2] In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Mouriño's business interests diversified into housing, as state governor Abelardo Carrillo Zavala [es] ordered new constructions.

In 1997, he registered Grupo Energético del Sureste (GES), operating petrol stations in other southeastern states and since 2003 holding franchises for fast food such as Church's Chicken and Burger King.

[2] He became a member of the board at RC Celta de Vigo in December 2003 and became president in May 2006 after buying the majority of shares possessed by predecessor Horacio Gómez.

[8] Mouriño clashed with Abel Caballero, the mayor of Vigo from the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE).

[13] Mouriño said that he regretted not inserting a clause in Mina's contract allowing Celta to fire him if found guilty, an application that would be legal in Spain.

[14] Mouriño had a public dispute with player Denis Suárez in the summer of 2022 as the midfielder allegedly turned down four offers to play elsewhere for more money, as Celta looked to sell him due to his high wages.
