The Trump administration is intensifying its campaign to disrupt the financial networks of Mexican organized crime groups, announcing new sanctions against members of the Hysa family and several of their gambling businesses in Mexico, as U.S. officials claim the establishments were used to launder money for the Sinaloa Cartel.
In coordination with the Mexican government, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) said on Nov. 13 that the targeted casinos helped launder more than $2 million in illicit payments between 2017 and 2024.
