Raúl Rocha, the president and co-owner of the Miss Universe Organization, has been formally charged with alleged involvement in drug, weapons, and fuel trafficking between Guatemala and Mexico. The allegations surfaced in a report by Telemundo, prompting Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum to address the issue during her morning briefing. She urged the Fiscalía General de la República to clarify whether an investigation or arrest warrant exists for Rocha, emphasizing the need for transparency in such cases. Sheinbaum stated, ‘If there is an investigation into this person, the authorities must report it. If there’s an ongoing investigation, then it should be known that there is one on behalf of the authority.’ According to the newspaper Reforma, Rocha is accused of leading a network that smuggles fuel across the Usumacinta River. The operation reportedly involves transporting fuel via boats and then distributing it through tanker trucks from Chiapas and Tabasco to Querétaro. Sheinbaum also stressed that the allegations should not overshadow Mexico’s recent Miss Universe victory, stating, ‘That is independent of the young woman who won the contest. It’s like they want to join both issues. They want to take away her merit.’ The case has drawn significant attention, raising questions about the intersection of high-profile individuals and criminal activities.
