El Departamento del Tesoro de Estados Unidos impuso sanciones financieras el miércoles 20 de mayo contra el restaurante Gorditas Chiwas en Chihuahua y 12 personas por su presunta participación en redes de lavado de dinero vinculadas al Cártel de Sinaloa.

Las sanciones afectan a Alfredo Orozco Romero, señalado como asesor de seguridad y cobrador de deudas de Armando de Jesús Ojeda Avilés, líder de una red que recolecta efectivo de la venta de fentanilo y otras drogas para convertirlo en criptomonedas. Orozco controla el restaurante a través de sus familiares Amalia Margarita Romero Moreno y Liliana Orozco Romero, quienes fueron designadas como prestanombres.

El Departamento del Tesoro indicó que Gorditas Chiwas y la empresa Grupo Especial Mamba Negra proporcionaron apoyo financiero o material a la organización criminal. Las medidas congelan los bienes de los sancionados en Estados Unidos y prohíben transacciones con personas estadounidenses.

La Unidad de Inteligencia Financiera de México anunció que investiga a las personas y entidades señaladas para identificar posibles operaciones con recursos de origen ilícito. El secretario del Tesoro, Scott Bessent, declaró que la administración no permitirá que los narcoterroristas inunden las fronteras con veneno.
