Estados Unidos acusa al gobernador de Sinaloa de vínculos con el narcotráfico

La Fiscalía del Distrito Sur de Nueva York acusó al gobernador de Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya, de colaborar presuntamente con Los Chapitos y facilitar operaciones del Cártel de Sinaloa.

La acusación se produjo en un momento sensible de las relaciones bilaterales, justo antes del inicio de las negociaciones de revisión del T-MEC programadas para el 6 de junio.

El fiscal general interino de Estados Unidos, Todd Blanche, indicó que se esperan más imputaciones contra políticos mexicanos vinculados al narcotráfico. Mencionó que un juez mexicano ya fue imputado recientemente y que narcotraficantes extraditados, como Ovidio Guzmán López y Joaquín Guzmán López, están cooperando con las autoridades.

La presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum exigió pruebas concluyentes y rechazó cualquier señalamiento sin evidencia sólida. El caso genera presión adicional sobre el gobierno mexicano en medio de extradiciones recientes de más de 90 criminales de alto perfil desde 2025.
