Mexico’s former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), who governed the country from 2018 to 2024, appointed Horacio Duarte (@horacioduarteo) to lead Mexico’s National Customs Agency, one of the most strategically important institutions for controlling international trade, border crossings, and the flow of goods into the United States. Duarte has been linked in allegations to Mexico’s massive illegal fuel trafficking network, known as huachicol. He is the subject of a U.S. criminal investigation. What exactly is he accused of, and what role are U.S. authorities playing in investigating criminal networks across the municipalities of the State of Mexico, one of Mexico’s most populous and economically powerful states?
