Sinaloa Cartel ⁤Casinos Used Simulated Bets, Transfers to Launder Millions, U.S. Treasury Alleges

CULIACÁN,MEXICO – A network of ten casinos across ‌Mexico allegedly laundered⁢ over $2 million⁣ for the ​Sinaloa Cartel ⁣between 2017⁤ and 2024,utilizing simulated‌ bets and large international transfers,according ​to a recent U.S. Treasury Department​ investigation. The Financial⁣ Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) ​detailed the scheme, which involved casinos Midas, Emine, Mirage, Palermo, and Skampa, located in Sonora, Sinaloa, Baja California, and⁤ Tabasco. The sanctions ⁤come amid⁣ increased scrutiny of Mexican financial ‌institutions and a crackdown on ‍money laundering operations linked to drug ‌trafficking.

The ‌U.S. Treasury’s Office‍ of Foreign Assets Control​ (OFAC) complaint alleges senior managers at ‌the ​Midas Casino in Mazatlán made monthly disbursements to the cartel as​ part of a standing agreement‍ with a high-ranking member. The Emine‍ casinos in⁤ San ‌Luis Río Colorado‍ and Palermo in⁢ Nogales (both in Sonora), along with Skampa Casino in Ensenada, Baja California, ⁤and Mirage in Culiacán, Sinaloa, reportedly operate under ‍the ‌same Midas directors, extending the illicit ⁢network to additional locations in ‍Agua Prieta, Guamúchil, Los​ Mochis, and Mazatlán (all in Sonora), Rosarito (Baja⁢ California), and Villahermosa (Tabasco).

FinCEN’s report indicates ⁢cartel operatives provided ⁤casino⁣ management with ​specific instructions to‍ evade ‍anti-money laundering controls. these⁤ included limiting‍ deposits to designated bank accounts to no more than 90,000 ⁤pesos (approximately $4,354 USD) and avoiding consecutive-day deposits to prevent account blockage. ‍Alternatively, cartel members were permitted to⁣ directly withdraw funds in​ person at the Midas Casino in Mazatlán. ​

The investigation⁤ revealed the cartel utilized over 30 Mexican-based ‍shell company bank⁤ accounts for ⁢cash deposits,⁣ further obscuring the source of funds.‌ These actions ​follow ⁣the recent blocking of accounts at‍ 13 other Mexican casinos by Mexican⁣ authorities, prompted by similar concerns ⁤regarding cash operations, international flows, ⁣and the use of unregulated digital platforms. The ‌U.S.actions underscore growing international pressure on Mexico to ​combat⁢ financial ⁢crimes fueling the drug​ trade.

Mexican Cartels Offer Rewards to Kill ICE and CBP Agents, DHS Claims

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com
written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

U.S. ⁣Claims Mexican Cartels Offering Rewards for Attacks on ⁤Federal Agents

WASHINGTON – The Department⁢ of Homeland Security (DHS) alleges ‍that Mexican criminal organizations⁢ are‌ offering financial rewards for attacks, kidnappings, or killings of U.S. federal agents, escalating tensions‌ amid heightened‍ border security measures⁤ and⁢ increased deployments of federal ⁣forces. ⁣

Secretary Kristi ​Noem stated in‌ an official release,”These criminal networks ‌are not only resisting the rule of law,but they are carrying out​ an organized campaign of terror against ‍the⁣ brave men and women who protect our borders and communities.” Noem further claimed that agents are facing “ambushes,‌ drone surveillance, and death threats” for enforcing U.S. law, vowing, “We‍ will not ⁣give in to⁤ these threats, and ‌all ‍criminals, terrorists, and⁢ illegal ⁢aliens will face American justice.”

The DHS accusations link migrants, their advocates – including⁣ “sanctuary cities” – and Latin American ⁢drug cartels, groups that the Trump Governance has increasingly ⁢targeted. The administration has substantially increased resources ⁤dedicated to immigration enforcement,⁤ recruiting​ thousands of agents for ‌Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from agencies like the DEA and FBI. National Guard troops have been deployed to cities like Chicago and Portland, presented as peacekeeping forces.

The ​administration has also categorized ⁢drug cartels as‍ terrorist⁣ groups, legally enabling potential direct action against them, including the recent sinking of ‌alleged drug ‍boats off the ⁤Venezuelan coast.

While DHS claims there is no⁢ clear evidence of an organized ​entity ‌coordinating these threats, the accusations echo previous⁣ instances‍ where unsubstantiated government claims preceded military action, such as​ the deployment of⁢ the National Guard to Portland following allegations of Antifa-led riots – a mobilization later blocked⁣ by​ two judges. The potential ‌consequences‌ of this new escalation​ remain unclear.

Hernán Bermúdez Arrested: Ex-Tabasco Security Chief Linked to Criminal Group

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com
written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Former Tabasco Security Secretary Arrested, Linked to Criminal Group ⁢”La Barredora“

Hernán Bermúdez Requena, formerly the Secretary​ of Security‍ for the state of tabasco, has been arrested in ‌Paraguay. Bermúdez is accused of leading “la Barredora,” a criminal⁤ association involved​ in ‌drug trafficking, extortion, and fuel theft (huachicol). The arrest was announced Friday⁢ night by MexicoS Ministry⁤ of Citizen Security ⁤and Protection.

Bermúdez had been a fugitive since February. He ⁢rose to prominence within​ the Tabasco security apparatus during the governorship of Adam Augusto López,now a Senator and coordinator for the Morena party. Despite intelligence reports compiled throughout the decade suggesting criminal activity, no action was taken against Bermúdez – ​referred to as ‍”Commander H” ‌in reports -‍ until now.

The arrest ⁢was the result of a joint operation involving the ⁣Ministry of ​National Defense,⁤ Secretary of ​the Navy, ‌Prosecutor General of the Republic, National Guard, and ​the ministry of Security and Citizen Protection, supported by⁣ financial and intelligence contributions from⁣ the national Intelligence Center. The operation leveraged intelligence sharing facilitated by the new Law ​of the National Research and Intelligence⁣ system,⁢ according to⁣ the Ministry.

Authorities released a​ photograph of Bermúdez depicting him with long gray hair, a beige‌ sweatshirt, and a beard. Details regarding the specifics of his journey to Paraguay have not been disclosed.

Local authorities in Tabasco ​had been seeking Bermúdez since February for crimes including criminal association,extortion,and⁤ express kidnapping. Military officials reported in the summer that he had escaped to Central America that‌ same ​month.

The arrest places pressure on Adam ​Augusto López, who ⁤served as governor when Bermúdez held the position of Security Secretary. ​Opposition groups have questioned ⁤how López could⁢ have been unaware of his subordinate’s alleged criminal activities, ⁣notably given López’s subsequent​ role as Secretary of the Interior in 2021. López initially remained silent on ⁤the matter, but later gave an interview to Radio Formula, stating, “I have political⁣ adversaries from inside, outside and now those in front. As they say in the town, so great is the toad, that is how big it is ​the pedrada.”

President ⁣Claudia Sheinbaum addressed the situation during⁤ a press conference, stating her government would not protect anyone involved, nonetheless of political affiliation. ⁣”If the Prosecutor’s Office has any​ evidence‍ against someone who is a brunette militant or not, go ahead, to ​continue the ⁤inquiry,” she said.

Beheaded Bodies & Narcomanta: ‘La Barredora’ Linked to Tlaxcala Massacre

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com
written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Tlaxcala Violence: cartel ⁢Threatens rivals with Grisly Finding

Table of Contents

Tlaxcala,‌ Mexico – ⁤A macabre discovery ​on Tuesday morning has shaken the state of Tlaxcala,‌ as authorities found the severed heads⁢ of six individuals near the Ixtacuixtla-Atotonilco road. The remains were discovered alongside a narcomanta,a banner‌ used by cartels to send messages,threatening rival criminal groups. This incident‌ marks⁢ a⁢ notable escalation of violence in a region previously ⁤considered relatively safe.

Details of the Discovery

Local police were alerted to the scene ⁤around ⁤6:30 a.m. by a passerby who identified the human remains. Five of the heads were found concealed in vegetation, while one was ​left on⁢ the roadside. The narcomanta explicitly threatened individuals linked to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG),identifying them ‌by aliases: “general,rooso,carrias,Güero and the Guzmán.” ⁤The message was signed by the criminal⁤ group known as La Barredora.

The location of the discovery, near Gabriel Popocatla, ⁤connects the municipalities of Ixtacuixtla and Españita, providing access to San Martín Texmelucan in the neighboring ⁢state of Puebla. Preliminary reports indicate that authorities have identified three of the victims as​ individuals previously reported missing.

Examination Underway

The‍ Tlaxcala Prosecutor’s Office has launched ‍a formal investigation, deploying ⁤agents from the Investigative Police and forensic experts ​to‌ the scene. A statement released by the office confirmed the remains are male.Meanwhile, authorities in Puebla have identified two of‌ the‌ victims as men aged 38 ⁤and 18. Speculation regarding a third victim, Armando N., 27, ⁣has been denied by ​Puebla’s ministry of Public Security.

Francisco Sánchez, head of Puebla’s Ministry of Public Security, stated that authorities⁤ are collaborating with‌ their counterparts ​in Tlaxcala to determine where‍ the ⁤victims were ⁣abducted. “We have to be careful in the ⁢evaluation of the data we have.⁢ This fact ignites the alert about what is happening,” ⁢Sánchez told local media.

the Rise of La ⁤Barredora

this‍ incident ‌is particularly alarming ‌given Tlaxcala’s reputation ‍as‍ one of Mexico’s safest states. Security expert David Saucedo explained that the region has increasingly become‍ a territory of influence for the Jalisco‌ New ‌Generation Cartel, primarily involved in human trafficking, drug trafficking, and fuel theft from Pemex pipelines.

Did You No? …

Fuel theft, ⁣or “huachicol,”‍ is⁣ a‌ significant ​issue‌ in Mexico, costing the state-owned oil⁢ company ‌Pemex billions of ‍dollars ⁣annually.

Cartel Leadership and recent​ Arrests

La Barredora has recently been in the spotlight following the alleged involvement of Hernán Bermúdez,known⁤ as “Commander H,” the former Secretary ‌of Security in Tabasco,in ⁤the cartel’s operations. Bermúdez, who served under Governor Adam Augusto López, is currently a fugitive with an Interpol red notice issued for his arrest. His case has created a political‌ crisis within the Morena party, potentially jeopardizing López’s political future.

Recent arrests of key La Barredora leaders,including ⁢Carlos tomás “N,” alias “Lic” or “The ⁣Tomasín,” in January,and ulises “N,” alias “Pinto,”‌ in july,have not curtailed ‍the cartel’s expansion.The group’s influence now extends ​from Tabasco to Chiapas, Veracruz, and now, Tlaxcala.

Saucedo explained that the brutal display of​ violence is a common tactic employed by cartels seeking to establish dominance in⁢ a new territory.”They ‍identify rival cells,‍ kidnap members, and ‌through torture, ​gather intelligence to eliminate competition,” he stated.⁣

Pro Tip: …

Cartels often use graphic violence​ to instill ⁣fear and demonstrate their power, aiming to ⁢control both the local population⁣ and rival​ organizations.

While the specific motives for La Barredora’s interest in Tlaxcala ​remain⁣ unclear, Saucedo suggests⁢ control of Pemex pipelines in Ixtacuixtla is a potential factor, though ⁤no evidence of clandestine tapping has been reported.

Date Event
January 2025 Carlos Tomás ‌”N” (“Lic“/”The Tomasín“) arrested.
July 2025 Ulises “N” (“Pinto“) arrested.
August ⁣20, ‌2025 Six beheaded heads ⁢discovered in ⁣Tlaxcala.

What impact ⁤will this escalation of⁤ violence have‌ on the security landscape of Tlaxcala?

How will the Mexican government respond to La Barredora’s growing influence and brazen tactics?

Context​ and Trends in Mexican Cartel ‌Violence

The escalating violence in tlaxcala ‍reflects a broader trend ⁤of ‍cartel fragmentation and expansion across Mexico.⁢ The weakening of traditional cartels has created opportunities ⁣for newer groups like La Barredora to emerge ⁢and compete for territory and resources.This competition ‌often leads to increased brutality⁢ and ‍a disregard for civilian‍ populations. The involvement of corrupt officials, as seen in the case ‌of ⁣Hernán Bermúdez, further exacerbates the‌ problem, undermining law enforcement efforts and providing cartels with impunity. According⁢ to a 2023‌ report by the International Crisis Group, “Mexico’s criminal landscape is becoming increasingly complex,⁤ with a proliferation of smaller, more violent groups” [International Crisis Group Report].

Frequently​ Asked ​questions About the Tlaxcala Violence

  • What is La barredora? La Barredora is‍ a relatively new criminal organization operating ‌in mexico, known​ for its brutality and alleged​ ties to corrupt ⁢officials.
  • What is the meaning of ‌the narcomanta? A ⁣ narcomanta is a banner ⁣used by cartels to⁤ send messages, often threats,⁢ to rivals ‍or authorities.
  • Is Tlaxcala typically a⁤ violent ​state? Historically, Tlaxcala has ⁤been considered one of Mexico’s safer states, but ‌recent events suggest​ a changing security landscape.
  • What ‌is⁢ huachicol? huachicol refers to the illegal tapping of oil pipelines ‌and the theft of fuel,a significant criminal activity ​in‍ Mexico.
  • What is ⁤the ⁤CJNG? The⁤ Jalisco New ‍Generation Cartel (CJNG) ⁢is one ‌of the most powerful and ⁣violent drug cartels in Mexico.

Colombian Ex-Soldiers Arrested in Mexican Soldier Mine Attack

Colombian Mercenaries Arrested in Mexico After Deadly Mine Attack on Soldiers



In a major advancement in the fight against organized crime, Mexican authorities have apprehended 17 individuals, including 12 Colombian nationals, in connection with the deadly ambush of Mexican soldiers. The Secretary of Security, Omar García Harfuch, announced the arrests, linking the group to the use of an antipersonnel mine that killed eight soldiers in the municipality of Los Reyes, Michoacán.

Details of the Arrests and Suspects

The arrested Colombians include nine former military personnel with extensive experiance and three with specialized weapons training, according to Harfuch. Authorities believe these individuals are part of a transnational recruitment network used by drug cartels. Initial investigations suggest the suspects entered Mexico legally.

Did You know? The Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) is considered one of the most powerful and violent drug cartels in Mexico, responsible for numerous acts of violence and drug trafficking. The U.S. drug Enforcement administration (DEA) considers the CJNG to be one of the primary drug trafficking threats facing the United States.

The Deadly Ambush

On May 27, a National Guard convoy was struck by an antipersonnel mine while patrolling near El Santuario in Los Reyes. The explosion resulted in the immediate deaths of six soldiers, with two more succumbing to their injuries after being transported to a hospital in Apatzingán. The attack occurred in a region known to be a stronghold of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).

Transnational Recruitment by Cartels

Security officials are increasingly concerned about the trend of Mexican cartels recruiting foreign nationals with military backgrounds. Harfuch stated that the head of the National Intelligence Center met with his Colombian counterpart to discuss the issue. To date, 69 individuals have been returned to Colombia after interviews at the Mexico City airport, where authorities, in coordination with the Secretariat of the Navy, are questioning new arrivals about potential cartel recruitment.

The border region between Michoacán and Jalisco has become a key battleground in the Mexican government’s efforts to combat organized crime. This area, along with Guanajuato, is a major stronghold for the CJNG.

Pro Tip: When traveling internationally, always be aware of your surroundings and avoid contact with suspicious individuals or groups. Report any suspicious activity to local authorities.

Colombian Government’s Response

Colombian President Gustavo Petro confirmed that the arrested individuals were indeed former members of the Colombian armed forces.He condemned their recruitment by the Los Reyes cartel, which is currently engaged in a territorial dispute with the CJNG in Michoacán. petro emphasized the need to prohibit mercenarism and prevent the misuse of military knowledge gained through public funds.

Alfredo molano, the Colombian consul in Mexico, suggested that many ex-military personnel are lured into trafficking networks under false pretenses, offered high-paying security jobs. Upon arrival in Mexico, they are often threatened and have their documents confiscated to prevent them from escaping.

Deception and High Wages

Testimonies from relatives of recruited ex-military personnel reveal that they are often promised security jobs on citrus plantations with generous benefits and the promise of returning to Colombia within six months. Though, survivors report that the reality is far different, involving heavily armed individuals and high-end vehicles, far removed from legitimate security work.

Alternatively, some individuals may be enticed by the high wages offered by cartels. Reports indicate that these wages can reach approximately 37,000 pesos (almost $2,000 USD) per month for those who survive defending the CJNG’s interests.

Ongoing Investigations

The Ministry of Security is continuing its investigations and maintaining close communication with Colombian authorities to prevent further recruitment activities.

Key Figures in the Arrests

Jalisco Cartel’s Three Kings Threads in Tabasco Shake Government Stability

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com
written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

CJNG’s ​Rosca de Reyes Distribution in Tabasco Sparks National‍ Debate ⁤adn Government ‍Response

On the afternoon of Three Kings Day, a surreal scene ​unfolded‌ in several ‌communities across Tabasco, Mexico.⁢ About twenty quiet⁣ neighbors,‍ some holding children’s‍ hands, gathered under spotlights as members​ of the Jalisco New Generation cartel ⁤(CJNG) ​distributed roscas de Reyes and gifts.⁢ A ⁤voice echoed through the crowd: “Gentlemen, this gift ​is without obligation, it is indeed only⁣ to steal a smile from the children and ‌support you. ​We are at your service, this gift is sent to you by⁣ Mr. 88, we are ​from the Jalisco ‍Cartel. What we want is to help them, ‌we want to support them and we are here to take care of them, not to ⁤screw them,‍ okay? This ⁢gift is sent to you by the gentleman on behalf of the company.”

the recordings of these events, shared widely⁤ on social media, ⁢have ignited a national debate and drawn sharp​ criticism from Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. ⁤Speaking from the National Palace,‌ she condemned the cartel’s actions,⁤ stating, “It is up to us to avoid and pay‌ full ‍attention to the causes so that there⁣ is no⁤ apology for violence. We build peace. Our ‌task‌ is to prevent any young person, ‍citizen, ⁢boy or girl ‍from seeing a ⁢outlook of life in ⁢violence or a criminal group, as it is indeed not a perspective ⁢of life, it⁣ is a perspective of death.” ⁣

The ​Tabasco state government ⁢has responded by deploying the National Guard and the Ministry of Public‌ Security to investigate ⁢the incident. ⁣José Ramiro López Obrador, Secretary of State government and brother of⁢ former President⁢ Andrés⁣ Manuel López‍ Obrador, described‌ the ‍CJNG’s actions as a direct ⁣challenge to the government’s anti-crime efforts.⁤ “Results are being given, and this is in ⁤response to the‍ results that are‌ being ‌given. Delinquency,organized‌ crime,is being tightened,”‍ he said during‌ a security​ meeting.

A State in ⁢Turmoil

Tabasco, once a relatively peaceful state, ⁣has been thrust into⁤ the spotlight as violence escalates. Since December 2023, a ⁢reorganization⁣ of criminal groups has led to a surge in homicides, ‌making 2024 ‌the deadliest year in ​the state ⁣in over ⁣a decade. According to the Executive Secretariat‌ of the National​ Public ⁣Security System, ⁤1,089 homicides were ​recorded in Tabasco⁤ last year, ​a staggering figure⁤ for a population of 2.2 million.‍

The violence has been fueled‍ by disputes over⁣ control‍ of migrant ​smuggling routes, ⁣especially following a split within the local‍ criminal group La Barredora in December ‌2023. This fragmentation ‌has pitted local groups against each other and against the CJNG,‌ which now controls 63%⁣ of Tabasco’s territory, according to reports.

The CJNG’s Strategy: Altruism or Control? ​​

The CJNG’s distribution of roscas de⁢ reyes and toys has been interpreted by ⁢experts⁢ as a calculated move to gain community support and assert dominance.In ⁢one delivery, a cartel member identified as “pure people‍ from 88” addressed the crowd: ⁣“we came ⁤to support them and to take care of them, not to rob ⁢them like the people who⁣ were here.We⁢ are a serious and honest company. This is a little‍ detail that ​Mr. 88 sends you, on behalf of the Jalisco New Generation⁢ Cartel, we are not asking you‍ for anything.Without commitment to anything.” ⁣

However, this apparent altruism is overshadowed by the cartel’s violent tactics. In recent ‌months, ⁤ narcomantas—threatening banners—have‍ appeared ‌in Macuspana, the hometown of former President‌ López⁣ Obrador. ⁤Signed ‌by Commander 88, these messages warn locals to align ⁤wiht the CJNG or face dire consequences. “We are already in Macuspana. ​The ⁤plaza already has an owner, ⁢the vendors have 24 hours⁢ to‍ line up ⁣or the same thing will ⁤happen,”⁢ read one banner, accompanied by⁣ several bodies. ⁢

A Broader Context ‍of Violence

Mexico’s escalating violence‌ has ‍drawn international attention. According to ACLED (Armed Conflict Location & Event Data), Mexico is now the fourth country​ with the most extreme level of ‍conflict in the world.⁢ The institution’s report highlights the⁤ consequences‌ of ⁤criminal fragmentation⁢ in Tabasco, where disputes over ‌smuggling routes have intensified.

Key Points‌ at⁣ a Glance

| Aspect ⁢ ​ ​ ​ ⁢ ⁤| Details ​ ⁣ ‌ ⁣ ‌ ⁤ ⁣ ⁢ ⁤ ⁤ ⁢ ‍|⁣
|————————–|—————————————————————————–|
| Event ⁣ | CJNG distributes roscas de Reyes and toys in‍ Tabasco. ‌ ⁢ ​‌ ⁣ ⁤ ⁤ |
| Government Response | National Guard and Public security deployed; President Sheinbaum ⁢condemns. |
| Violence ⁢in Tabasco ⁤ | 1,089 homicides ‌in 2024; CJNG controls 63% ⁣of the⁤ state. ​ ⁣ ‌ ⁢ ⁢ |

|‍ Threats ​ |​ Narcomantas in Macuspana ⁤warn locals to ‍align with CJNG. ‌ ⁣ |⁢ ⁣

Conclusion

The ‍CJNG’s​ distribution ⁢of roscas⁤ de Reyes ‌in Tabasco⁢ is ‌a stark reminder of the⁤ complex dynamics of organized crime in Mexico. ⁣While the cartel ⁢presents itself ‌as a ⁣benefactor,its actions are part⁣ of a broader ⁣strategy to consolidate power and intimidate rivals.As the government grapples with this challenge, the people of Tabasco remain caught in the crossfire of a deepening crisis.
