The U.S. government asked the Office of the Attorney-General of Mexico (PGR) for help with finding and giving Tomás Yarrington Ruvalcaba, former governor of Tamaulipas, a legal citation with the purpose of testifying against Texan authorities that wish to confiscate several properties that the PRI politician supposedly acquired with illicit funds. This information was revealed to La Jornada on Wednesday by Mexican government sources.
The citation seeks to obligate Yarrington to respond to questioning from U.S. prosecutors in regards to economic resources that he used to purchase a condominium in the Isla del Padre and a property of 20 hectares in the state of Texas in the San Antonio zone.
