The governor of Morelos was identified as a member of a criminal network in Mexico

Mexico City – The Governor of Morelos, Cuauhtémoc Blanco , and a close circle of three family members and officials were reported to the state’s Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office for hiding the origin, property and millionaire destination of resources through the triangulation of bank accounts.

The complaint includes the President’s half brother, Ulises Bravo, who influenced various government issues without being an official and who currently leads the Solidarity Encounter Party (PES) in Morelos.

Also included in the complaint are Edgar Riou Pérez, cousin and private secretary of the President, and Jaime Tamayo Godínez, friend of the former soccer player and representative of the “Cuauteminha” brand.

In June 2020, the Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF) and the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) detected a network of money laundering and millionaire accounts in the area of Cuauhtémoc Blanco.

The operations indicated in this new complaint date from the period in which Blanco was Municipal President of Cuernavaca, from 2016 to 2018.

The complaint was filed by the lawyer Enrique Paredes Sotelo, who at the time extended to Blanco the proof of residence in Morelos that allowed him to run for mayor.

According to the new file, those indicated present an economic profile that is not in accordance with their fiscal and financial information, and they have no way of justifying their sources of income.

Comercializadora Saime, designated as a front company, is part of the reported financial triangulations and is related to Ulises Bravo.

While Tamayo Godínez is the legal representative of four mercantile companies, one of them called Calipso Comunicaciones y Sistemas, also designated as a front firm.

In the file it was reported that Tamayo has made millionaire transactions in his Banamex account 9133572945, as well as in the 50048914915 of Inbursa, where he registered deposits for 43.6 million pesos (about $ 2.16 million dollars) and withdrawals for 40.2 million pesos ( about $ 2 million).

In addition, from August 2016 to October 2018, it registered deposits for 505.4 million pesos (about $ 25 million dollars) in the Santander account 60557555418.
