US EditionMexico has no evidence linking Venezuela's Maduro to Sinaloa Cartel, president says
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO, AUG 8 – Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum rejects U.S. claims tying Maduro to the Sinaloa Cartel and states Mexico has no proof or ongoing investigations on this matter.
- Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed on Friday that her government is not pursuing any investigation nor possesses proof of connections between Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and the Sinaloa Cartel.
- Following U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi's announcement on Thursday that the financial incentive for tips resulting in Maduro's capture related to drug trafficking and cartel connections had been increased to $50 million, this statement was made.
- Bondi accused Maduro of collaborating with cartels to profit from drug smuggling, while Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil called these accusations “the most ridiculous smokescreen ever seen.”
- The DEA has confiscated a large quantity of cocaine connected to Maduro and his network, yet a U.S. intelligence memo released in May questioned claims that Maduro directly controls criminal operations within the United States, highlighting conflicting viewpoints.
- Sheinbaum emphasized Mexico was unaware of these allegations until this week and urged that if any evidence exists, it should be presented, underscoring Mexico's position of no active investigation.
