The Mexican Attorney General's Office rejected an investigation into Andrés Manuel López Beltrán for fuel smuggling charges.

The Mexican Attorney General's Office ruled out initiating a formal investigation into Andrés Manuel López Beltrán for fuel smuggling charges. This decision follows demands from the opposition, specifically the National Action Party (PAN), which accused the 40-year-old son of former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador of leading a network of hydrocarbon trafficking. While local media reported that protected witnesses had pointed to López Beltrán as the leader of illegal fuel imports from the United States, the Attorney General's Office clarified that such journalistic reports were false. The Public Ministry of the Federation stated it lacks the legal evidence necessary to begin an inquest. Andrés Manuel López Beltrán, who seeks to be a federal deputy in 2027, previously announced the revocation of his U.S. visa. In an open letter to President Trump, he described the measure as "Hitlerian style." Opposition leaders, including Jorge Romero, have demanded transparency regarding the reasons for the visa cancellation, noting that the denunciation had been presented for over a year.
