BIG NEWS IN MEX! Saul Alvarez tied to alleged drug cartel money laundering scheme

[El Gitano]

If true I wouldn't be shocked. Wasn't Chavez Sr linked to the cartels his entire career and there are stories he still is. And I heard Chavez Jr girlfriend is related to El Chapo. Sounds like this is just how the celebs and athletes role in Mexico. Probably need the cartels having your back so nobody phuks with you. Mexico is run by these cartels they got more pull and power then the police. Comparing what goes on there to the US or other countries is no comparison.

Chavez Jrs' step-daughter is Chapo's granddaughter.

Corruption in Mexico? Really?

not the first, and sadly won't be the last

Haha, exactly. People really need to open their eyes. Boxing and curruption go hand in hand.

Word on the street is Leo Santa Cruz runs everything north of the border.

I'm an even bigger fan now, Canelo is a boss in the ring and in the streets.

KING CANELO

He could end up having his visa suspended if there is enough doubt about his association since he was a partner in the organization.

Canelo the Don

Yeah right lol you realize how much money he brings to the US specifically Vegas economy? And you think anyone in the US cares about corruption in Mexico? LMAO

Mexican government doesn't even care. lol Canelo is worth too much to think he is running any crime rings he is just cool with dudes who are in that crime life. None of this will impact his boxing career.

Or its as simple as you can't throw a rock in any direction down in Mexico without hitting a criminal linked to cartels. lol

And gangsters love celebs. Hell look at Frank Sinatra who had all kinds of friends with mob ties. They probably just like being around a superstar like Canelo and could be protecting him and letting everyone know not to phuk with him or else.

thats how he got a draw card vs Floyd lol

[speaks in english] [speaks in english] the treasury department of the united states was indicted by mexican prosecutors, frozen bank accounts and confiscated furs. here we are ready for any vehicle to be informing and clarifying. and not defending ourselves because the one who is guilty defends himself. civil organizations requested that the boxing champion reports on his donations. where his president was the nephew of the former governor. roberto sandoval, who was governor, defends himself. it is a foundation that was made before becoming governor. it is totally proven how it was built and how we have helped
