Ex-Mexican Governor Arrested for Money Laundering
Update: 2025-12-09
Description
Former Chihuahua Governor César Duarte, a member of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, has been arrested by Mexican authorities for allegedly laundering money stolen from state funds during his tenure. Duarte, who served as governor from 2010 to 2016, was previously extradited from the U.S. in 2022 to face embezzlement charges. His lawyer has disputed the legality of his detention, but Mexican prosecutors accuse him of embezzling nearly $5 million and laundering money, a charge for which he was granted U.S. permission to prosecute just last week.
