Former officials face corruption and financial investigations in Mexico and Bolivia

In Mexico, former Health Secretary Gloria Molina Gamboa has released a video denouncing corruption within the previous administration. Molina, who served from April 2017 to September 2022, stated she decided to speak publicly because she is facing criminal charges. She warned that it would be unjust for subordinate staff to be held accountable for decisions made by high-ranking officials.

In Bolivia, the Financial Investigation Unit (UIF) has launched an investigation into suspicious economic movements involving former officials from the administration of Luis Arce. According to Vice Minister of Transparency Yamil García, the investigation is tracking resources that may have moved through Brazil and Paraguay. The government has activated diplomatic channels and international cooperation mechanisms to verify the origin and destination of these funds, though specific names and amounts have not yet been disclosed to protect the ongoing inquiry.
