The United States government expanded sanctions against a tourist complex located in Nayarit, allegedly linked to the Jalisco Nuev Cartel a Generación (CJNG), and alerted about new business names used to operate time-sharing frauds against U.S. citizens.

The US authorities indicated that these companies would be part of a network linked to CJNG dedicated to timeshare fraud, a scheme that would have mainly affected older adults from the United States and Canada.

According to the Treasury Department, the model operated through deceptive telephone calls and deceptive promotions to attract customers to sales presentations where time-sharing contracts were offered with false promises of profitability or resale.

Subsequently, the victims were contacted again to demand additional payments for alleged taxes, legal procedures or release of non-existent funds.

OFAC recalled that Kovay Gardens had already been sanctioned in February 2026, along with five people and at least 17 people. Mexican dams allegedly related to the financial operation of the CJNG in the Riviera Nayarit and Puerto Vallarta.

U.S. Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, stated that criminal organizations like the CJNG “constantly victimize Americans for profit,” whether through drug trafficking or financial fraud schemes.

FBI investigations cited by US media indicate that between 2019 and 2023 about 6,000 people reported losses of approximately 300 million dollars related to timeshare frauds in Mexico.
