The U.S. Treasury Department sanctions a drug dealer who uses cryptocurrency for money laundering

By: rootdata|2026/05/22 04:45:02

Según Bloomberg, el Departamento del Tesoro de EE. UU. anunció sanciones contra un operador del cártel de Sinaloa, acusándolo de utilizar criptomonedas para transferir las ganancias del narcotráfico de vuelta a México. La Oficina de Control de Activos Extranjeros del Tesoro declaró que entre los sancionados se encuentra Armando de Jesús Ojeda Avilés y varios de sus asociados, quienes blanquearon ingresos por ventas de fentanilo, cocaína y metanfetamina para el cártel de Sinaloa.

La red depende de mensajeros dentro de los Estados Unidos para recolectar efectivo y transferir fondos a través de direcciones de moneda digital. En abril de 2024, un gran jurado federal en Colorado acusó a otro asociado de Ojeda, Rodrigo Alarcón Palomares, de blanquear ganancias del narcotráfico a través de criptomonedas.
