The U.S. Department of Treasury has sanctioned Mexican rapper El Makabelico for allegedly laundering money for the Cartel Del Noreste. According to the Treasury Department, the cartel relies on alternative revenue streams and money laundering to support its criminal activities. The sanctions freeze any U.S. assets held by El Makabelico and prohibit U.S. citizens from engaging in transactions with him. This action is part of a broader effort by the U.S. government to disrupt the financial networks of drug cartels operating in Mexico.
