Mexican authorities are investigating possible anomalies amounting to 40 million dollars related to a former trustee of Tequesquitengo. According to the collected information, there is a suspicion of embezzlement of funds that is currently being investigated.
In another matter, the European Union is considering the possibility of carrying out direct military action against drug cartels. Ronald Johnson, a representative of the EU, has expressed his willingness to closely collaborate with the Mexican government in this regard, seeking joint solutions to address the problem of drug trafficking in the region.
A worrying news item refers to the recruitment of young people by the cartels, from urban areas to rural areas. A survivor recounts that he was deceived through a false job offer and recruited at a bus terminal. The Jalisco Prosecutor's Office has been aware of this tactic since 2017, which underscores the complexity of the recruitment operations of these criminal groups.
On an international aspect, the unusual level of cooperation from Mexico in trade and security matters is highlighted according to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Rubio praised the actions taken by the Mexican government against the cartels and illegal migration, describing them as unprecedented.
On the other hand, a house has been found where human remains were discovered, linked to a former collaborator of former governor Cuauhtémoc Blanco. These events create uncertainty in the business environment, complicating investment decisions and undermining economic progress in certain regions and sectors of the country.
Additionally, it is reported that sales in self-service stores have recorded their first decline in 4 years. This decrease is attributed to economic and security policies implemented by the United States that have impacted the sector, according to the National Association of Self-Service and Department Stores (ANTAD).
