Overview
- Alejandro Moreno said Tuesday he submitted complaints to the FBI and DEA and presented information to the Justice and Treasury departments alleging criminal links involving Morena senator Adán Augusto López.
- The documents he posted describe a scheme to steal crude oil in Mexico, move it to the United States for processing, and import the refined product back to Mexico in potential violation of U.S. law.
- Moreno characterized the materials as public information and referenced other figures he says have been scrutinized by U.S. authorities, including legislator Carlos Lomelí.
- Adán Augusto López denied ties to the La Barredora criminal group and stated he will not relinquish his Senate seat.
- The dispute follows the Sept. 13 arrest in Paraguay of Hernán Bermúdez, a former security chief under López in Tabasco, who is accused of leading La Barredora.
