Mexico City: (Apro) – The candidate of the ruling PRI party for governor of Tamaulipas, Baltazar Hinojosa Ochoa, is under investigation by the U.S. Dept. of Treasury for money laundering.
The Department of Homeland Security is also investigating the PRI candidate and his family for shady investments in the purchase of a corporation through a family-owned company registered in Panama by the law firm of Mossack & Fonseca.
According to documentation obtained by the news agency Apro, since last April, Treasury and DHS have interchanged information on Baltazar Hinojosa where they confirm that they are investigating the candidate and his family members and are in the process of following the money trail and banking accounts in the United States.
On April 20, DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson received a letter from the Eric M. Thorson, the Treasury Dept.'s Inspector General, where he tells him that his department, in collaborating with him in the interest of national security and the interests of the United States, he is sending him documentation of the money trail, bank account numbers, and other information that pertain to the PRI candidate for governor of Tamaulipas.
The letter also confirms that the FBI will participate in the investigation of several properties of the candidate's family and financial transactions in which they have participated.
In his May 2 answer, Treasury's Thorson informs Johnson at DHS that documents in their files seem to indicate that "Mr. Baltazar Hinojosa Ochoa (already) has files in this department for possible money laundering."
He also tells him that he will send the results of the ongoing investigation by his department's investigators of all the bank accounts related to Baltazar Hinojosa nd his family.
Among the documents is one dated April 3 from the law firm (Mossack & Fonseca) which relates to the purchase of a corporation by the name of "Axxx Commercial Distributor LTD" by the firm called "Vlumber, Coast Frontier & Ronquillo" with a Panama address.
Named as contacts of this firm is Carlos Mario Ronquillo Villarreal, Baltazar Hinojosa brother-in-law, and as directors of the firm “Vlumber, Coast Frontier & Ronquillo” is Marcela Ronquillo Villarreal, the PRI candidate's wife, and his thre daughters, Daniela, Mariana and Alejandra Hinojosa Ronquillo.
According to the communicartions between Treasury's Thorson and DHS' Johnson, the investigation into money laundering and the financial transactions by Baltazar Hinojosa and members of his family is continuing.

Didn't Marcela Hinojosa worked as director of the Art Museum HERE IN BROWSVILLE? NOT in Matamoros.
Wasn't he also investigated by some Matamoros reporters as having a home here in Brownsville and questioned in some radio stations as of the origins of the money from where the home was purchased?

Baltazar is an arrogant and corrupt candidate

The one that is responsible of hiring Baltazar's wife at the museum is none other that Tony Martinez. He has taken a liking to the Narcos. He has taken many a photo with Letty La asesina Salazar and her boy toy Narco.

Baltazar belongs in jail

As Professor of Anthropology, Tony Zavaleta tells us, "Corruption is a part of the Mexican culture and we should accept it." The people of Mexico don't seem to have the courage to fight against rampant corruption and seem to prefer U.S. benefits. The evacuation of Mexico by its citizens only makes it possible for corruption and the cartels to become entrenched. It also contributes to the growing corruption by elected officials on this side of the border. Those that don't have the balls to stand up for change in their own country come to this side and way Mexican flags in protest against politicians here. Why do Mexican illegals have more balls to protest here....and not spirit in Mexico??

All you people are dumb. All you people are good for is throwing shade. All you people are good for is opening your mouth when someone else works hard. All you people seem a bit jealous of Baltazar's success. All you people (haters) can go to hell and suck satans penis.
