The acting attorney-general of the United States, Todd Blanche, warned that new accusations could be brought against Mexican politicians and officials allegedly linked to criminal organizations, as part of the US government's strategy to combat drug cartels.

During an interview with the NewsNation network, Blanche assured that the investigations continue to advance thanks to the cooperation of some criminal leaders ext recently radiated to US territory, who could provide key information on political protection networks related to drug trafficking.

The official noted that President Donald Trump's administration will maintain an aggressive stance against Mexican cartels and any public servants allegedly linked to these organizations.

According to Blanche, recent extraditions have made it possible to obtain data that could lead to new charges.

The statements come after US prosecutors accused the governor of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya, and other Sinaloa officials for alleged links to the Sinaloa Cartel.

Among those named are senator Enrique Inzunza Cázarez and the licensed mayor of Culiacán, Juan de Dios Gámez Mendívil.

Blanche stated that the goal is for criminal leaders and their alleged political allies to “fear” being detained and processed in American cities such as Chicago, New York or Texas.

He also announced that a Mexican judge was recently accused, although he avoided giving more details about the case.

In response, President Claudia Sheinbaum has demanded strong evidence on the accusations made by Washington and criticized the fa lta of reciprocity by the United States on issues such as arms trafficking and some extradition requests made by Mexico.
