美国联邦大陪审团起诉锡那罗亚州州长及其他墨西哥州级官员,指控其参与贩毒和武器犯罪,据称他们与贩毒集团勾结,将毒品运入美国,以换取贿赂和好处。

自2021年起担任墨西哥锡那罗亚州州长的鲁文·罗查·莫亚,以及9名现任或前任墨西哥高级官员,在周三公开的一项五项罪名的起诉书中被起诉。他们据称帮助由“查皮托斯”团伙领导的贩毒集团开展活动——该团伙由华金·古斯曼·洛埃拉(又名“矮子古兹曼”,锡那罗亚贩毒集团前头目,已在美国受审)的儿子们统领。

起诉书中称:“这些政客和执法官员滥用职权为贩毒集团撑腰,使受害者面临威胁和暴力,并出卖公职以换取巨额贿赂。”

纽约的检察官指控罗查·莫亚于2021年大选前与查皮托斯团伙会面,并向他们保证,如果当选,他将任命支持其贩毒活动的官员担任要职。起诉书称,贩毒集团成员偷 ballot箱、绑架或恐吓对手退选,以确保他当选。

罗查·莫亚强烈否认这些指控,他在X平台上写道:“我断然并绝对拒绝纽约南区联邦检察官办公室对我的指控,因为这些指控毫无真实性和依据。在适当的时候,我们将全力证明这一点。”

莫亚接着说道:“我要对锡那罗亚州人民说,我们将以我们所具备的勇气和尊严,证明这一诽谤毫无根据。”

墨西哥外交部表示,已收到美国政府的引渡请求,但称这些请求“缺乏足够证据”。外交部在一份声明中称:“不过,按照此类案件的标准程序,总检察长办公室将根据墨西哥法律确定是否有足够证据,以及临时逮捕引渡请求的可行性。”

美国检察官指控,这些现任和前任墨西哥官员协助贩毒集团将芬太尼、可卡因和其他毒品从墨西哥运往美国;为贩毒集团头目提供庇护,使其免受调查和起诉;并纵容与毒品相关的暴力活动。起诉书称,作为交换,被告总共收受了数百万美元的贿赂。

当局指控其中一名男子——库利亚坎警察局前高级指挥官胡安·巴伦苏埃拉·米兰,协助绑架了一名美国缉毒局线人和另一名受害者。起诉书称,这两人被移交给贩毒集团后遭杀害。担任锡那罗亚州最大城市警察局局长的米兰据称每月收受约4.1万美元贿赂,并将其中一部分分给警局其他人员,作为交换,他向查皮托斯团伙提供警局资源,包括巡逻车和对讲机。

锡那罗亚州总检察院副检察长达马索·卡斯特罗·萨阿韦德拉据称每月从查皮托斯团伙收取约1.1万美元,以保护他们免遭逮捕,并向他们通报美国支持的缉毒行动计划。

矮子古兹曼被捕后,该贩毒集团分裂为两个团伙——一个由查皮托斯团伙领导,另一个由伊斯梅尔·赞巴达·加西亚(绰号“埃尔马约”)领导。

美国当局此前已起诉查皮托斯团伙成员。其中两人已被引渡至美国并认罪。另外两名兄弟目前仍在墨西哥潜逃。赞巴达也被起诉,并于2024年被引渡至美国受审,他同样已认罪。

赞巴达此前曾指控罗查·莫亚参与导致他被捕的一次会面。罗查·莫亚当时否认有任何牵连,称:“绝对没有任何事情、任何事情能将我与那件事联系起来,没有任何事情。我断然、明确地这么说。没有任何关联。”

A federal grand jury indicted the governor of Sinaloa and other Mexican state officials with drug trafficking and weapons charges for allegedly working with cartels to bring drugs into the United States in exchange for bribes and favors.

Ruben Rocha Moya, the governor of the Mexican state of Sinaloa since 2021, and nine current or former high-ranking Mexican officials were charged in a five-count indictment unsealed Wednesday with allegedly helping a faction of the cartel led by the Chapitos, the sons of Joaquin Guzman Loera — also known as El Chapo, the former leader of the Sinaloa cartel until he was prosecuted in the US.

“These politicians and law enforcement officials have abused their authority in support of the Cartel, exposed and subjected victims to threats and violence, and sold out their offices in exchange for massive bribes,” according to the indictment.

Prosecutors in New York allege Rocha Moya met with the Chapitos prior to his election in 2021 and assured them that if elected, he would put officials friendly to their drug trafficking operations into power. Cartel members stole ballot boxes and kidnapped or intimidated opponents to drop out of the race to ensure his victory, according to the indictment.

Rocha Moya strongly denied the allegations, writing on X, “I categorically and absolutely reject the accusations made against me by the Southern District of New York Federal Prosecutor’s Office, as they lack any truth or foundation whatsoever. And this will be demonstrated, with full force, at the appropriate time.”

Moya went on to say, “To the people of Sinaloa, I say that, with the courage and dignity that characterize us, we will demonstrate the lack of foundation for this slander.”

Mexico’s Foreign Ministry said it received extradition requests from the US government but said they lack “sufficient evidence.” In a statement, the Foreign Ministry said, “However, as is standard procedure in these cases, the Attorney General’s Office will determine whether there is sufficient evidence under Mexican law and the viability of the requests for provisional arrest for extradition.”

US prosecutors allege the current and former Mexican officials aided the cartel in importing fentanyl, cocaine and other drugs from Mexico into the US; shielded the cartel leaders from investigation and prosecution; and allowed drug-related violence. In exchange, the indictment alleges, the defendants in total received millions of dollars.

Authorities allege one of the men, Juan Valenzuela Millan, a former high-level commander in the Culiacan police department, assisted in the kidnapping of a US Drug Enforcement Administration source and another victim. They were turned over to the cartel, which killed them, the indictment says. Millan, who led the department in Sinaloa’s largest city, allegedly accepted approximately $41,000 a month in bribes he distributed to others on the police force, and in exchange, he gave the Chapitos access to department resources, including patrol cars and radios.

Damaso Castro Zaavedra, the deputy attorney general for the Sinaloa state attorney general’s office , allegedly received monthly payments of approximately $11,000 from the Chapitos for protecting them from arrests and tipping them off about planned US-backed operations.

After El Chapo’s arrest, the cartel splintered into two groups — the one led by the Chapitos and the other by Ismael Zambada Garcia, known as El Mayo.

US authorities previously charged the Chapitos. Two were extradited to the US and pleaded guilty. The other two brothers remain at large in Mexico. Zambada was also charged and brought to the US in 2024 to face charges. He also pleaded guilty.

Zambada previously accused Rocha Moya of being involved in an alleged meeting that led to his capture. Rocha Moya at the time denied any involvement, saying, “There is absolutely nothing, nothing, that can link me to that matter, nothing. I say this categorically, emphatically. Nothing.”
