On Tuesday, June 30, 2026, the US Department of the Treasury announced sanctions against two Mexican individuals and nine companies connected to fuel theft operations orchestrated by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).

Among those sanctioned is Oscar Guillermo Juraidini Silva, identified as the CJNG’s accountant responsible for falsifying customs documents to transport stolen fuel from the United States into Mexico. He is linked to several companies, including Centro Cambiario La Peseta, SA de CV; OJ Living Trust, SAPI de CV; RK Real King, SA de CV; Soma Transporte y Servicios, SA de CV; Ogui Fletes; and OF Transportes.

The second individual, J. Refugio Ruiz Villagomez, reportedly facilitates bribe payments to cartels and organizations controlling border crossings, enabling the movement of stolen fuel. Ruiz Villagomez is associated with Jomadi Logistics & Cargo, SA de CV and Ahavat Logistics Solution, SA de CV—companies that have conducted transactions worth tens of millions of dollars in the US with CJNG affiliates.

The US Treasury highlighted that Mexico’s Fiscalía General de la República (FGR) has identified Jomadi as an import-export company involved in drug trafficking activities.

Following these sanctions, the US government has frozen all assets and property interests of the designated individuals and entities.

In parallel, Mexico’s Unidad de Inteligencia Financiera (Financial Intelligence Unit) added Juraidini and Ruiz to its list of blocked persons after a thorough fiscal, financial, and operational analysis revealed signs of illicit resource operations and irregular income.

This coordinated action underscores ongoing efforts by both governments to disrupt the financial networks underpinning organized crime, a critical step toward addressing the broader social and security challenges linked to fuel theft in Mexico.
