💨 Abstract

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to U.S. Treasury Department accusations that three Mexican financial institutions are primary concerns for money laundering related to illicit opioid trafficking, banned in the U.S. Sheinbaum stated that the U.S. has not provided evidence supporting these claims and Mexico is awaiting detailed information. She emphasized that without proof, Mexico cannot acknowledge or act on these accusations. Investigations by Mexico’s banking and financial intelligence units found administrative violations but no evidence of money laundering.
