Mexican ex-governors wanted by the DEA

Original article available at ZETA
Translated by El Wachito


The new government of Tamaulipas, headed by Francisco Garcia Cabeza de Vaca, found that 12 ministerial cops were commissioned as the bodyguards of ex governors, Tomas Jesus Yarrington Ruvalcaba and Eugenio Javier Hernandez Flores, who are currently wanted by American authorities, including the DEA, for organize crime, drug trafficking, fraud, money laundering, amongst other crimes.

Ex governor Edigio Torre Cantu was the one that authorized the bodyguard service that was provided to the ex governors of the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI), both wanted, and both generated a monthly expenditures of 400 thousand pesos, and a total of 30 million pesos during their 6 years of governance, for travel expenditures and salary.

The Procurador General de Justica De Tamaulipas, Irving Barrios Mojica, informed that the ex-governors Yarrington and Hernandez, had 8 and 4 bodyguards commissioned, "for their protection", every cop armed with a handgun and a high power rifle.

"One of the weakness that exists in the Procuraduria is the lack of Ministerial Cops available and the lack of Ministerial Officers trained to conduct investigations, it is a really reduced group of individuals, and we need the man-power to make sure that the investigations happen", stated the Procurador from Tamaulipas to Televisa news network.

"The Procuraduria General de la Republica (PGR) is informed of the situation and has already taken action", affirmed the actual Procurador of Tamaulipas, who stated that the bodyguard service has been canceled.


The accusations against Yarrington and Hernandez

Tomas Yarrington was the Governor of Tamaulipas from 1999 to 2004 and is wanted by the DEA since December of 2013, he is accused by an American Federal Court for organize crime, and he is accused to receiving money for the protection that he provided to the Cartel del Golfo during his time of Governance.

In December of 2012, the American Federal Government confiscated a luxury apartment that belonged to Yarrington, located in the south area of Isla del Padre, Texas, under the supposition that it was acquired  through a money laundering operation of money proceeding from the traffic of drugs.

In May of 2013, a Federal judge from Brownsville Texas, started the file B-12-435-S1 and formally accused the ex-governor of receiving funds from drug trafficking organizations since 1998, when he was a candidate of the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) for the State Governor and he received the money through "State Police", of the Former Governor Manuel Cavazos Lerma, also a member of the PRI and nowadays a Republic Senator.


Eugenio Hernandez

He was a governor of Tamaulipas from 2005 to 2010 and he is also accused by the DEA since June of 2015. Also, a Federal Judge ordered his arrest for receiving money from Los Zetas during his administration.

Hernandez is accused in the United States of money laundering, illegal financial transactions, in banks from Texas, for up to 30 million dollars. The Department of State is also looking for his brother in law, Oscar Gonzeles Guerra, for operating a money laundering system in the United States.

The Judicial file C-14-178-S, submitted on May 27 of 2015, sustains that the ex-governor and the husband of his wife, with "knowledge of the illegal activities", started money laundering and conducting illegal financial transactions since January of 2008.

"The money was received by Hernandez Flores as a payment of allowing Cartel del Golfo to operate with liberty in Tamaulipas to conduct their illegal activities of drug trafficking, kidnapping, sale of drugs, and human trafficking into the United States", stated the Federal Fiscal of the United States.

The accusations include a notice of a legal seizure of 2 millions of dollars of 4 properties, 3 of them located in McAllen and another one in Austin, in the state of Texas.

The last time that he was seen was last June 5, when he was seen by the media visiting a Polling booth in Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas to vote for the PRI candidate, Baltazar Hinojosa Ochoa.


"Baltazar is not only going to be the governor, he will be an excellent governor because I know him, and I know the type of man that he is and know of his work, in that sense we trust that the citizens will vote and they will support him so we can have a successful 6 years of governance by my friend Baltazar", expressed Hernandez Flores back then.

Back then, in November of 2015, the ex governor assisted the fifth  Government report of Governonor Egidio Torre Cantu, and even though he was accused in the United States of money laundering, he received a public gratitude announcement for his presence.

"I really appreciate that the former Ex-governors are present", said Torre Cantu from his podium, in reference to Cavazos Lerma and Hernandez Flores.

Smiling, and sitting down between the governor of Puebla Rafael Moreno Valle and the ex governor Manuel Cavazos Lerma, Hrenandez Flores stood up from his seat and, with a hand signal, he aknowledge the greeting of the Tamaulipas governor Torre Cantu.

    7. @1:02 What you said is not to be taken literaly. The elected officials have some power only because they have the police forces and or the armies under their command to control both criminals and civilians alike. This does not interpret to mean that EVERY elected official is a criminal mastermind and that like you said Chapo and the rest are just pawns and fall guys in the criminal games.
      Some cases like in this story the politicians do have direct links to organized crime but it is unlikely that every individual that the people elect are criminals. Indifference on the remainder of the politicians particularly speaking of those in Mexico to capture criminals might make them seem they are involved with them also but it might not be the case.

    8. Exactly we saw how chapo ended and el mencho is just a new puppet why you think they have his son in jail son every time he get out line his son will pay lmao this capos aint nothing except el mayo he at same level has the mex goverment

    9. @7:52: the police chiefs, the military commanders, the governors, the ministers and EPN all know how much they can squeeze out of the cartel operatives in return for letting them carry on their dirty business.

      Every public official does not have the power in his office to be of relevance to the cartels and hence the question is: which public office positions are relevant for the cartels.

      Pablo Escobar 20 years ago used to pay USD70million in bribes per month! Any of the established mexican cartels today pay at least that to public officials (elected and appointed) which have a influence in policy affecting the cartels.

    10. 7:52 this is from a sinaloense 1oo% lol

      Delete
    11. @12:36 exactly like you said. Military, police forces, etc.. all "squeeze" money from cartels to let them work. This does not mean they themselves are the criminals literaly running the drugs and commiting extortions on innocent civilians and the executions (with a few exceptions like with some dirty cops and the people un this story), and more rather it is a mutual agreement of sorts that can benefit both parties. This also does not mean also that the elected officials run for public office knowing this and that they by all means willingly arrange these deals with the narcos but rather "Plata O Plomo" can come into play also in these situations!

    15. The government has the bigger armies, the most soldiers, the warplanes, the bigger bombs and all the impunity in the world granted by no less than the US, they are not on the take as much as they allow some of their sicarios to do some on the side.
      But when they do too much by themselves, is when shit happens.
      Ask Manuel Noriega, after he got arrested some Panama building got razed after being thoroughly inspected for some porn records involving US politicians formerly allied to his ass.

    1. The problem is that US policy towards Mexico is to keep it stable even if corrupt. An upheaval and/or revolution in Mexico - even if it would have the potential to clean up corruption and orgnanized crime - is against US interests since it is not guaranteed that it would be US-friendly.

    1. @6:46 Allegations that Former President Fox's EX-WIFE and HER CHILDREN have engaged in corrupt influence peddling and other illegal activities. Political enemies of Fox have attempted to tie him to their illegal activities but no one has succeeded in implicating him in corruption. He is not generally viewed as a successful President, but a big reason for his failures to carry out his agenda is that inherited a bureaucracy where every worker in every agency in government owed their jobs to 72 years of PRI rule. They proved to be pretty effective obstructionist to his agenda.

      IMO he is kind of like Jimmy Carter in the US, a better "former" President than President. They have both not been afraid to say what they think.

      If you have evidence of Fox being involved in money laundering please post a link. If you don't have one, what you said is how false stories get started.

    2. Fox was a coca~cola executive in mexico, hello, "coca" anyone?
      His wife, first 'second hand' first lady, Martha Sahagun, niece of on eof the worst drug trafficking murderers the DFS/policia judicial federal michuacan ever produced, francisco Sahagun baca, and her sons, the famous bribes can brothers, all exploited the presidencial relationship, from drugs and weapons trafficking to pemex comtracts for preside tial insiders, nobody has to get their hands dirty as long as all the family pulls their own weight, loaded with presidential perks.

  18. Probably the "bodyguards" make 500 pesos and the xgovs pocket the rest. How about an amen! What I recommend is that Sr. De Vaca show Exactly what he is doing with the savings. For example today (with a nice pic) we gave food and clothes to this poor family. Amen! Cost 5,000 pesos. Today we gave $ and bought a wheelchair for this kid. Amen!! Picture of new shoes, clothes, housing, skill training! In the streets of Ciudad Victoria (capital of Tamp.) I have often seen eldery asking for help.

  23. I love it .
    Dumb assess use the country that can and will do the most damage to them to launder their money . All these numbers make me think that the USA probably has a hold on a lot of $$$$$ . I think they should come on up to the USA and defend their assets . I bet they wouldn't have much trouble getting a visa . I expect for there to be a lot more civil cases filed for seizure of assets . They wouldn't even have to have a criminal case . A civil case is judged by a preponderance of evidence , not beyond a reasonable doubt like a criminal verdict is to be found . They can file these civil cases and get these assholes served . If their dirty they wont even cross the border to defend their assets for fear of secret indictment . The last civil case I saw where the defendant didn't show , the complainant was awarded exactly what he ask for . They called it default judgment .
