Recently, Adrián Rubalcava was appointed as the general director of the Collective Transport System (STC) Metro and is amid public allegations linking him to purported investigations for money laundering and connections with criminal organizations such as Unión Tepito and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), according to statements from businessman and former official Simón Levy.
Rubalcava, who has held the position of mayor of Cuajimalpa three times and has been a member of several political parties, currently aligned with Morena, joins a list of figures mentioned in an alleged investigation that would also include former mayor of Cuauhtémoc, Sandra Cuevas, with whom he has had a personal relationship in the past.
Businessman Levy mentioned that the U.S. Department of Justice had frozen Cuevas' assets in that country and that the investigations point to a money laundering and illicit financing network related to drug trafficking, involving Rubalcava, Cuevas, and others mentioned such as Ignacio Rodríguez, Julián Mazoy, and David Santillana, as well as alleged connections with content creators and other public officials.
Despite the absence of official confirmation from the U.S. government regarding the investigation against Rubalcava, Cuevas, and the others involved, the disappearance of Sandra Cuevas' profile on social media since April has fueled speculation. Both Rubalcava and Cuevas have been pointed out in Mexico for alleged irregularities in their management, including omissions in asset declarations, contradictory property transactions, and alleged ties to local criminal groups.
These events take place in a context of increasing scrutiny of the Mexican political class and their possible links to illicit financial activities, highlighting the importance of a detailed investigation to clarify these accusations.
