The UIF ordered the freezing of 22 bank accounts belonging to members of La Mayiza, including Morena’s Federal Deputy, Araceli Brown

Among those blocked is a Morena federal deputy. This action comes in the context of the visit by U.S. Undersecretary of the Treasury John K. Hurley and in response to sanctions imposed by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).

OFAC designated seven Mexican individuals and 15 companies for their alleged links to “La Mayiza.” The UIF, in collaboration with U.S. authorities, activated a preventive administrative freeze.

According to the agency, these measures are not a judicial determination, but rather allow for coordinated action to prevent illicit funds from spreading throughout the national economy.

One of the people on the list is Morena federal deputy Araceli Brown Figueredo. The US Treasury Department report links her to the criminal group from her time as mayor of Rosarito, where members of the Sinaloa Cartel held positions in the municipal government. Cartel Information

The investigation also links her to Candelario Arcega Aguirre, identified as a member of “La Mayiza.”

In addition to these accusations, the US government has offered a $5 million reward for the capture of Juan José Ponce Félix “El Ruso,” another alleged Sinaloa Cartel operative.

The UIF has stated that it will continue a detailed analysis of the financial information and that if it finds evidence of illicit activities, it will inform the Attorney General’s Office (FGR).
