Tomás Yarrington, the former governor of the Mexican state of Tamaulipas, has been released from the U.S. prison in which he had been incarcerated since 2018 on money laundering charges.

According to a record from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), Yarrington was released from the prison on July 3, though his release was scheduled for July 9 after his defense requested a sentence reduction. It is not specified whether he was released on parole or under supervised release, nor if he is under the custody of another criminal justice or correctional system.
