• FROZEN: Mexico’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) froze 1,939 bank accounts in 12 Mexican states linked to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) in what is said to be one of the largest anti-money laundering operations against a major drug trafficking organization.

 

• TARGETS: Without revealing the US dollar amount of assets involved, Mexican authorities said that the blocked accounts pertained to 1,770 individuals, 167 businesses and 2 trusts linked to CJNG, an organization that is reportedly behind much of the violence of recent years in Mexico.

 

• RESULTS: “We were able to locate a large number of members of this criminal group, as well as its largest financial operatives and companies used in money laundering”, the Mexican FIU said Tuesday while thanking the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for its help.

 

• ORGANIZATION: The US Department of Justice considers CJNG as one of the five most powerful criminal organizations in the world. According to the DEA, the CJNG drug trafficking organization has a foothold in 24 of 32 Mexican states and an extensive presence across the US.
