Understanding the Threat of Mexican Drug Cartels: Essential Insights for Financial Institutions and Corporates to Manage Associated Risks

March 4, 2025 |  10:00 AM - 10:45 AM ET

Details

Join us for an eye-opening webinar where we dive into the history of and heightened risks posed by Mexican drug cartels to financial institutions and corporations.

Learn how these criminal organizations influence global markets and how your business can effectively manage and mitigate potential threats in the context of increasing focus by the White House and other elements of power in the United States Government. 

This session will provide the latest thinking on this topic, as well as actionable strategies to help safeguard your institution’s operations.

Background

On January 20, 2025, the Trump Administration issued an Executive Order creating a process to designate some international criminal organizations and drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs).  This step carries with it several legal implications with respect to Mexican drug cartels that will impact the operations of financial institutions and other corporations who may have exposure directly or indirectly to these organizations.  

Further to this prioritization, we have recently seen the Department of Justice de-prioritize Kleptocracy in favor of work against Mexican drug cartels, signaling a cross government focus on this national threat.  

The net result will have a major impact on banks, payment companies and corporations that work in and across Mexico, Canada and beyond.
