O Departamento do Tesouro dos EUA impôs sanções financeiras na quarta-feira, 20 de maio, contra o restaurante Gorditas Chiwas, em Chihuahua, e 12 indivíduos por seu suposto papel em redes de lavagem de dinheiro ligadas ao Cartel de Sinaloa.

As sanções têm como alvo Alfredo Orozco Romero, identificado como consultor de segurança e cobrador de dívidas de Armando de Jesús Ojeda Avilés, que lidera uma rede que recolhe dinheiro de vendas de fentanil e outras drogas para convertê-lo em criptomoedas. Orozco controla o restaurante por meio de parentes, Amalia Margarita Romero Moreno e Liliana Orozco Romero, designadas como laranjas.

O Departamento do Tesouro declarou que o Gorditas Chiwas e a empresa Grupo Especial Mamba Negra forneceram apoio financeiro ou material à organização criminosa. As medidas congelam os bens dos sancionados nos Estados Unidos e proíbem transações com pessoas norte-americanas.

A Unidade de Inteligência Financeira do México anunciou que está investigando os indivíduos e entidades nomeados para identificar possíveis operações com fundos ilícitos. O secretário do Tesouro, Scott Bessent, disse que a administração não permitirá que narcoterroristas inundem as fronteiras com veneno.
