US Accuses Sinaloa Governor and Officials of Cartel Ties
US prosecutors in New York have formally accused 11 current and former Mexican officials, including Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya, of ties to the "Los Chapitos" faction of the Sinaloa Cartel. This unprecedented accusation by the Brooklyn Court and DEA marks the first time a Mexican state government has been implicated in serving narcotrafficking interests. The development presents significant challenges for President Claudia Sheinbaum's administration.
