Report: ATM Skimmer Gang Had Protection from Mexican Attorney General’s Office
Summary: A complaint filed with Mexico's internal affairs division alleges that Camilo Constantino Rivera, who heads the anti-corruption unit in the Mexican Special Prosecutor's office, protected a Romanian ATM skimming gang because his brother served as a security escort and lawyer for reputed syndicate boss Florian Tudor. The complaint says Rivera's office brought proceedings against and removed several agents who investigated the ring, and it also charges that the protection racket included the former chief of police in Cancun.
What you should know: The FBI-targeted network Tudor is accused of running was tied to a 2019 Southern District of New York case against 18 people and $20 million in skimmed and laundered funds, and the officials who investigated it were the ones removed from their posts.
