\nShocking that there is corruption in Mexico!<\/p>\n

\tThree Mexican federal judges have been suspended pending an investigation into court judgments that benefited casino owners, the judiciary announced Thursday.<\/p>\n

\tThe Federal Judiciary Council said in a statement that a disciplinary process had been opened against federal judges Eduardo Ochoa Torres and Javier Ruben Lozano Martinez in the northern state of Nuevo Leon and Jose Manuel Rodriguez Puerto in neighboring Tamaulipas state.<\/p>\n

\tThe council didn’t identify the casino owners who allegedly benefited from the judges’ rulings.<\/p>\n

\tIt was the largest purge of federal judges suspected of corruption in recent years.<\/p>\n

\tIn 2011, the council suspended federal judge Luis Armando Jerezano Trevino, who was based in the northern state of Coahuila. Jerezano Trevino is still being investigated for illegal enrichment.<\/p>\n

\tThe states of Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas and Coahuila, all three of which border Texas, have seen the opening of numerous casinos in the recent years.<\/p>\n

\tIn February, local prosecutors in South Texas sought the forfeiture of more than $3.2 million seized from U.S.-based accounts belonging to Jerezano Trevino and his wife. Prosecutors said the funds were the result of money laundering and bribery. Jerezano Trevino is contesting the seizure in McAllen.<\/p>\n

\tAccording to court documents, Jerezano Trevino and his wife, Claudia Zulema Alanis Trevino, didn’t inform bank officials that Jerezano Trevino was a Mexican judge. Texas prosecutors allege the couple deposited bribes that Jerezano Trevino took as a judge in return for favorable rulings.<\/p>\n

I had no idea that there were any casinos in Mexico. If so are they legal??? In any event the drug lords are probably running them.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Yes, from what I have seen casinos are legal in Mexico but each Estada (state) has their own rules. I have never seen Craps but slots, poker and blackjack are played. I think most are legit but I am sure Cartel money is involved in at least some of them under the table.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
