Infobae México reports that Miguel Meza, president of Defensorxs A.C., presented WhatsApp conversations said to have been extracted from phones used by Tamaulipas businessman Sergio Carmona, known as “El Rey del Huachicol.” The report says the messages show direct communication with Morena senator José Ramón Gómez Leal beginning in 2021, the year Carmona was killed in San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León. Infobae México describes the material as part of thousands of records from two phones and says Meza identified contacts with mayors, lawmakers and senators, but the report does not independently authenticate every message or establish that every person mentioned took part in wrongdoing.

According to the source, one exchange refers to meetings, travel and a person Meza identified as Lacho García, whom the activist described as a former Tamaulipas health official and alleged financial operator. Another exchange includes the phrase “RGV,” which Meza linked to Rodolfo González Valderrama, and references to an unnamed “sir” and “the big man.” Meza said the messages did not explicitly identify the people he speculated about, and he acknowledged uncertainty about the meaning of coded terms such as “El Humo” and “los 1.”

The article also revisits allegations about Carmona’s companies, fuel smuggling, campaign financing and relationships with political figures, citing journalists, activists and previous reporting. Those allegations remain attributed claims, not findings established by the Wire, and the story does not present a conviction against Gómez Leal based on the chats. Infobae México says the material is being used to argue that Gómez Leal helped connect Carmona with Morena’s political circle, while the precise meaning, provenance and legal significance of the messages remain matters for verification.
