Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Tuesday that her administration is working to reach an agreement with a former public official accused of transferring hundreds of millions of dollars in allegedly illicit funds from Mexico to investment accounts and other assets in Florida.
During her morning press conference, Sheinbaum said Mexico's Financial Intelligence Unit, led by Pablo Gómez, is negotiating with Genaro García Luna, the country's former secretary of public safety. She said the goal is for García Luna to return the money that he and his wife allegedly diverted from the Mexican government during former President Felipe Calderón's administration, which ran from 2006 to 2012.
