On 23 September, US News reported that a former Mexican security minister implicated in a money laundering scheme is accused of stealing $250 million in public funds after leaving his government job. He allegedly hid the money stolen from the treasury in bank accounts in Barbados and the US between 2012 and 2018. Mexico’s FIU has launched its first lawsuit in the US, in Miami against former security chief Garcia Luna and a network of 39 companies and trusts run by him and his associates to hide assets.
