Report Says US Revoked Cancún Mayor's Visa
Original reporting: Colima Noticias
What happened
Colima Noticias says unnamed sources reported that US officials revoked visas for Mayor Ana Paty Peralta and two relatives while Mexico's FGR reviews alleged fund misuse, fuel smuggling and possible contacts. The visa reasons and any link to the inquiry are not public.
Reporting and context
Colima Noticias said Mexico's FGR is probing Cancún Mayor Ana Paty Peralta over possible misuse of city cash, fuel smuggling, and contact with people tied to the Sinaloa Cartel. It said these are leads and not facts shown in any court.
The FGR seeks to learn if city staff or funds helped Rafael Marín Mollinedo, a past customs chief and state hopeful, the outlet said. A fuel case noted in the report does not mean Marín is charged. He denies graft and says his staff found and flagged the flaws.
The outlet's sources said US staff pulled visas from Peralta, her husband, and her father-in-law. The reasons are not public as yet, and no link to the Mexico probe has been shown. The FGR must decide if any ties, funds, or fuel deals can support a charge. No one named in the report has been found guilty by a court.
