The investigation against the governor of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya—accused by a U.S. federal prosecutor of alleged ties to drug trafficking—is now extending to his family. The situation is becoming seriously complicated for the governor, who today openly stated that he could not “speak for anyone.”
A damning statement. According to LPO, the biggest concern now centers on Rocha’s son-in-law, on whom the CIA has reportedly set its sights. This is José Antonio Cano Félix, who has held the position of Deputy Director of Information and Communication Technologies (STIC) at Pemex for almost a year, a position with highly sensitive access to the oil company’s strategic information.
From this department, in fact, the company’s pipeline network is monitored in real time through the SCADA system. This involves the control of approximately 80,000 kilometers of pipelines that transport crude oil, gasoline, diesel, and other fuels. The area also manages cybersecurity, networks, hardware, software, and data intelligence for the state-owned oil company.
This is a very delicate position if the hypothesis of the United States Department of Justice is accepted. If the Rocha family were indeed colluding with the Sinaloa Cartel, the criminal organization would have almost total access to the oil company. How would this revelation impact the narrative surrounding the illegal fuel theft and illegal fuel trade that has plagued the current administration?
