Américo Villarreal, the governor of Tamaulipas, denied receiving any notification regarding an investigation by Mexican or U.S. authorities over alleged ties to organized crime. This statement follows a report by N+ linking him to U.S. inquiries. Villarreal, a member of the Morena party, categorically rejected the claims, calling them false and accusing the media outlet of spreading politically motivated propaganda.
