Puerto Vallarta Timeshare Linked to Cartel Fraud, Treasury Reports

Kovay Gardens, a boutique resort on Mexico’s Pacific coast, has been sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury for allegedly operating as a fraud scheme linked to the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG). The resort reportedly lured American tourists into timeshare scams, overcharging credit cards and facilitating further fraud through call centers. U.S. officials revealed that this operation has led to significant financial losses for victims, particularly older Americans. The sanctions are part of ongoing efforts to combat CJNG’s expansion into various criminal activities beyond narcotics.
