Mexican political operator Andrés “Andy” López Beltrán and his network moved $54.9 million from Houston to Tabasco between February and July 2025 to acquire thousands of acres in Tixpéhual, Escárcega, and Poxilá at roughly 10% of their market value.
According to the information I have documented, a broader network transferred approximately $132 million from the United States through accounts linked to Hernán Bermúdez, Adán Augusto López, Mara Lezama, Arturo Ávila, Américo Villarreal, Rafael Marín Mollinedo, Rubén Rocha Moya, and Manuel Bartlett.
My complaints also identify additional officials whose financial activities and use of the U.S. financial system warrant scrutiny, including current Mexican Consul General in Miami Rutilio Escandón, along with several sitting governors and senior public officials.
The alleged scheme involved the purchase of casinos, ranches, commercial properties, land sold far below market value, and government security contracts as vehicles to launder illicit proceeds.
Under U.S. law, @USTreasury the proceeds of foreign public corruption can qualify as the proceeds of a specified unlawful activity for money laundering prosecutions. In other words, if public funds were stolen from the Mexican treasury and moved through the U.S. financial system, those funds may be treated as criminal proceeds under U.S. anti-money laundering statutes.
A prior criminal conviction in Mexico is not always required before U.S. authorities can investigate potential money laundering offenses.
That is why I filed formal complaints with U.S. authorities.
