According to LPO, the United States praises Mexico's efforts in the fight against organized crime but demands progress in dismantling its political and economic links, a situation that puts the Mexican government in an uncomfortable position due to the accusations against the Morena party.
The case of the governor of Tamaulipas is not an isolated incident, as other officials are also under scrutiny. One name that has emerged is Édgar Alejandro "N", arrested in January with eight kilos of cocaine and identified as one of the financial operators of Américo Villareal and Alberto Granados. Additionally, the former governor of Chiapas, Rutilio Escandón, is considering resigning from his position as consul in Miami for fear of being arrested.
Following the arrest of Alberto Granados while trying to cross the border into the United States, tensions are escalating in Tamaulipas. Governor Américo Villareal is closely monitoring the situation, especially after being questioned about the funding of the state campaign in 2022, his son known as "Ameriquín" and Mario Delgado, former president of Morena.
Alberto Granados was released after an intense interrogation by the DEA, the Department of Homeland Security, and the FBI. Despite speculation and uncertainty, the mayor is expected to participate in a public event to calm tensions. Additionally, Américo Villareal is in the midst of agreements regarding his succession with the "Carmona Group".
The situation in Tamaulipas becomes even more serious with the United States' investigations into key figures of the 4T, such as Rubén Rocha. Tensions in the region are rising due to threats from a lawyer of "Los Zetas" to become a protected witness. In this scenario, Washington is deepening its inquiries, generating concern in various areas of Mexico.
