Mexican Governor Denies Being Notified of Alleged Investigation in the U.S.
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The governor of the Mexican state of Tamaulipas, Américo Villareal, stated on Monday that he has not received any 'official notification' from the United States regarding an alleged investigation against him, following a report by The New York Times indicating that the politician is being investigated for corruption. In a letter published by the communications coordinator for the Tamaulipas government, Gerardo Algarín, Villareal categorically denied the published information, asserting that 'there is no accusation, procedure, or official notification from any authority—either in Mexico or the U.S.—to support it.' 'A version attributed to unnamed sources is not an accredited truth,' the governor criticized. He reacted to the U.S. newspaper's report, which identified the governors of Sonora, Alfonso Durazo, and Tamaulipas as potential targets of U.S. authorities' corruption investigations. The New York Times also claims that at least a dozen governors and legislators from the ruling Movimiento Regeneración Nacional (Morena) party have offered to collaborate as informants with U.S. authorities.
