A series of investigations have brought to light allegations that Mexico's President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's 2006 presidential campaign may have been financed by drug traffickers. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) discovered evidence suggesting that $2 million was funneled to political operatives working on López Obrador's campaign. Witnesses claim that drug traffickers met with representatives of the 2006 campaign, which initiated a DEA investigation into the current president's campaign finances. Further reports suggest a long-standing relationship between López Obrador and the Sinaloa Cartel, alongside the cartel's significant connections with China.
