Estados Unidos acusam governador de Sinaloa de ligações com cartel

O promotor do Distrito Sul de Nova York acusou o governador de Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya, de supostamente colaborar com Los Chapitos e facilitar as operações do Cartel de Sinaloa.

A acusação surgiu em um momento sensível nas relações bilaterais, logo antes do início das negociações de revisão do T-MEC, marcadas para 6 de junho.

O procurador-geral interino dos Estados Unidos, Todd Blanche, indicou que são esperadas mais acusações contra políticos mexicanos ligados ao tráfico de drogas. Ele observou que um juiz mexicano foi recentemente indiciado e que traficantes extraditados, como Ovidio Guzmán López e Joaquín Guzmán López, estão cooperando com as autoridades.

A presidente Claudia Sheinbaum exigiu evidências conclusivas e rejeitou quaisquer alegações sem provas sólidas. O caso aumenta a pressão sobre o governo mexicano em meio a mais de 90 extradições recentes de alto perfil desde 2025.
