In a significant move against organized crime, the United States and Mexico have intensified their efforts to dismantle money laundering operations tied to casinos. Mexican authorities have closed thirteen gaming establishments accused of utilizing fraudulent identities to transfer millions of dollars overseas. Concurrently, the U.S. Treasury has frozen the assets of twenty-seven individuals and companies associated with the Hysa Organized Crime Group, which is alleged to launder cartel funds through casinos and high-end restaurants. Sanctions have been imposed on businesses across Mexico, Canada, and Poland, with officials warning that any entities engaging in transactions with these sanctioned parties could face severe penalties. The crackdown focuses on border cities such as Rosarito and Nogales, and even extends to casinos linked to billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego, although his company has denied any involvement in illegal activities. The U.S. government emphasizes that this operation sends a clear message: criminal networks will be held accountable for their actions.
