President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is the target of three reports on alleged links between his campaigns and drug trafficking cartels. The reports are not the product of exhaustive investigations by reporters but of leaks from files that, although they were considered closed, at some point sparked investigations.

There are elements that support what has been published, such as the fact that a PRD candidate for senator and close to the president is a businessman. The president's reaction went viral when he revealed the cell phone of one of the co-authors of the New York Times report.
