US SENATOR ACCUSES MEXICO OF ALLOWING CARTELS TO FINANCE THEMSELVES WITH STOLEN OIL

14

U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen asserted that cartels in Mexico profit from stolen fuel and crude oil, resources which, she claimed, allow them to sustain their criminal operations both in Mexico and the United States.

In response, she announced a bipartisan initiative with Senator John Cornyn to combat fuel theft and target one of the main sources of funding for organized crime.

This statement adds to the growing pressure from Washington to strengthen actions against the fuel theft networks linked to criminal groups.
