US Sanctions Target Mexican Cartel and Timeshare Fraud Schemes

The U.S. Department of the Treasury has sanctioned four Mexican individuals and 13 companies linked to timeshare fraud in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, which is controlled by the violent CJNG cartel. These schemes target U.S. victims, especially the elderly, through complex scams involving false offers and impersonations, generating significant revenue for CJNG, which also engages in drug trafficking and other illicit activities. The sanctions aim to disrupt CJNG's diverse revenue streams and protect U.S. citizens from fraud.

Gruesome Discovery: Hacked-Up Bodies Found in Vehicles on Mexico's Gulf Coast

An undetermined number of hacked-up bodies were found in two vehicles abandoned on a bridge in Mexico’s Gulf coast state of Veracruz, with a banner left on the side of one truck suggesting the victims might be Guatemalans and claiming authorship of the crime to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. The killings are believed to involve a "settling of scores" between gangs, and the state has seen an increase in violence as cartels battle for turf.
