Recent actions taken by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission in connection with CIBanco, Intercam and Vector

30/06/2025

FinCEN and CNBV coordinate actions in response to potential links between Mexican financial institutions and illicit opioid trafficking.

On June 25, 2025, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) issued orders barring U.S. financial institutions from transacting with CIBanco, Intercam, and Vector, citing their alleged involvement in laundering proceeds from illicit opioid trafficking. Simultaneously, Mexico’s CNBV implemented temporary managerial interventions at these institutions. This Legal Briefing outlines the contractual, operational, and reputational risks arising from these measures, and explores their implications for trusts, U.S. dollar-denominated instruments, and third-party commercial relations.
