Kate del Castillo investigated, report says
- 8 years ago
Actress Kate del Castillo is under investigation on suspicion of money laundering in Mexico, the nation's attorney general told a leading Mexican newspaper in an interview published Tuesday.
Del Castillo, a dual citizen of Mexico and the United States, has not been charged with any crime and so far has only been called to give a statement to investigators, Attorney General Arely Gomez told El Universal .
The two-pronged investigation - into the actress's links to drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman and into the finances of her boutique tequila brand, Honor Del Castillo - will determine if drug money went to her business.
There are indications that El Chapo provided illicit funds for del Castillo's tequila business, Gomez told the newspaper, but the links have not been proved.
Most of the attention after Guzman's arrest has been on Penn's role and the article he penned for Rolling Stone magazine about his interview with the fugitive kingpin.
