Millions of dollars in transactions were carried out in Albania, 13 casinos in Mexico are blocked

Mexico's Finance Ministry has targeted multimillion-dollar transfers made by casinos, blocking 13 of them.

According to foreign media, after months of investigations, the federal agency has frozen the bank accounts of gambling establishments after uncovering suspicions of money laundering.

The investigation uncovered cash transactions, international flows, and the use of unregulated digital platforms.

"Some of these locations operated multimillion-dollar money transactions, transfers to the United States, Romania, Albania, Malta and Panama, as well as through digital platforms, which facilitated the distribution of illicit funds, their concealment and their reintegration into the Mexican and international financial systems," the Mexican government said in a statement released on Tuesday.

This Wednesday, the Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection, Omar García Harfuch, declared during a morning press conference at the National Palace that unusual behavior, irregular money transfers, tax evasion and links to organized crime were discovered in the casinos in question.

The Treasury Department says these companies moved up to 50 million pesos in unusual transactions. The gambling establishments, which are now under investigation, operate in the states of Jalisco, Nuevo León, Sinaloa, Sonora, Baja California, Mexico State, Chiapas and Mexico City.

The investigation by the Ministry of Finance, in collaboration with the Security Cabinet, also identified that digital gambling platforms have used individuals with financial profiles that do not match the amount of money received.
