Rosarito Council Seeks Sindicatura Report on Brown-Era Contracts as State Plans Audit

An OFAC listing tying Araceli Brown to a Sinaloa Cartel network has prompted administrative reviews of spending linked to companies associated with Candelario Arceaga.

Overview

  • Mayor Rocío Adame said the Cabildo will require Síndico Ricardo Bejarano to deliver a detailed update on investigations into potential contracting irregularities.
  • State deputy Alejandrina Corral announced she will review Rosarito’s public accounts from Brown’s mayoral terms and cross‑check them against firms flagged by U.S. authorities.
  • Transparency records indicate contracts exceeding 20 million pesos were awarded during Brown’s administration to companies related to or tied to Candelario Arceaga.
  • Officials noted that police personnel files have not been delivered to the Comisión de Honor y Justicia, which they say is a pending matter for oversight decisions.
  • Araceli Brown remains listed on OFAC’s site, and local actions are currently administrative with no reported criminal prosecutions linked to the designation.
