U.S. officials for years investigated allegations that individuals close to Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (commonly known as AMLO) received millions of dollars from members of drug cartels during his administration, The New York Times reported.
The article, titled 'U.S. Examined Allegations of Cartel Ties to Allies of Mexico's President,' was published on the Times website on Tuesday. However, hours before its publication, the case had already gained attention on social networks. This occurred after López Obrador said during his morning press conference that the newspaper's local bureau chief had sent him some questions on the matter.
