Due to their high financial risk, they were listed as blocked legal entities to protect users and prevent these spaces from being used by organized crime, the SHCP reported in a statement.
As a result, behaviors allegedly consistent with international typologies of money laundering were identified in establishments with a presence in Jalisco, Nuevo León, Sinaloa, Sonora, Baja California, State of Mexico, Chiapas and Mexico City, according to the patterns detected in the financial analysis.
Some of these establishments operated with million-dollar cash movements, transfers to countries such as the United States, Romania, Albania, Malta, Panama; as well as through digital platforms, which facilitated the dispersion of illicit resources, their concealment and their reintegration into the Mexican and international financial system.
Additionally, it was identified that digital platforms used people with economic profiles not in line with the amount of money received, such as housewives, students, retirees, unemployed people, who in exchange for a percentage transferred all of the funds to the true owners, legitimizing the income apparently obtained in games.
