translated from Spanish: THE US showed a list of former governors related to organized crime

Michoacán.- The United States expressed concern about the relationship of twenty Mexican governors and former governors with organized crime, among which are the names of Roberto Borge, Tomás Yarrington, as well as Javier and César Duarte, according to the report ‘Mexico: Organized crime and drug trafficking organizations’, prepared by the Congressional Research Service.
“The criminal involvement of state governors and other criminals reflects the extent of corruption at the levels of government and in all parties in Mexico,” the paper released this week refers.
“Notable examples” of corrupt former governors include the names of Pri’s Javier Duarte (2010-2016) in Veracruz, arrested in Guatemala and extradited to Mexico in August 2017.
Also featured is Roberto Borge, of Quintana Roo (2010-2016), wanted on charges of corruption and abuse of public office, extradited by Panama to Mexico in June 2018.
Tomás Yarrington, of Tamaulipas (1999-2005), also of the Institutional Revolutionary, arrested in Italy in 2017 and extradited to the United States in 2018 on drug charges, human trafficking and money laundering.
“Since 2012, he has been under investigation for his ties to the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas in Mexico,” the report details.
Finally, it highlights the name César Duarte, of Chihuahua (2010-2016), also from the tricolor, who “has fled Mexico and is an international fugitive” sought by Interpol.
For example, the U.S. Treasury Department pointed to the former governor of Nayarit, Roberto Sandoval, having received payments from the Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) Cartel. Along with him, the former Nayarit prosecutor, Edgar Veytia, is arrested in March 2017 in San Diego, California, who, despite the charges against him in the United States, has no arrest warrant in Mexico.
The list of former members of corruption, inside or outside Mexico, extends to all political parties, highlighting the names of the panista Guillermo Padrés, de Sonora; Jesus Reyna and Fausto Vallejo, from Michoacán; Andrés Granier, from Tabasco; Sergio Estrada, of Morelos, and Rodrigo Medina, from Nuevo León, who is already investigated by the Financial Intelligence Unit, for the alleged triangulation of 3.5 billion pesos.
