The US Treasury Department said on Wednesday it sanctioned soccer star Rafael Marquez and more than 20 others for suspected links with an accused drug kingpin David Pastrnak Bruins Jersey , tarnishing the reputation of one of Mexico’s sporting giants.
Marquez, 38, along with a popular singer known as Julion Alvarez and nearly two dozen other Mexican nationals, is accused of financial ties with Raul Flores Hernandez, a suspected drug trafficker with links to the Sinaloa cartel and the Jalisco New Generation gang.
The US Treasury Department said the designation was “the largest single Kingpin Act action against a Mexican drug cartel network that OFAC (the Office of Foreign Assets Control) has designated”, and comes after US President Donald Trump promised to crush Mexico’s drug cartels.
“Raul Flores Hernandez has operated for decades because of his longstanding relationships with other drug cartels and his use of financial front persons to mask his investments of illegal drug proceeds,” OFAC Director John E. Smith said in a statement.
Marquez denied the accusations at a news conference on Wednesday evening and vowed to cooperate with authorities.
“I deny categorically any type of relation with this organization. I understand the legal situation in which I find myself, and I will immediately focus my energy on the clarification of the facts with the support of my team of lawyers.”
Marquez is one of the country’s best know sportsmen and has played in Europe for club sides FC Barcelona and Monaco. He still occasionally captains the Mexican national team, having represented his country in four World Cup soccer tournaments.
LONDON, Aug. 10 (Xinhua) -- Nearly 700,000 eggs from Dutch farms affected by the insecticide Fipronil may have been distributed to Britain, according to a statement released on Thursday by the Food Standards Agency.
The Agency previously estimated that the number is just 21,000. But even if the figure increases significantly, it only represents 0.007 percent of the eggs consumed in the UK every year, and it is "very unlikely" that there is any risk to public health from consuming these foods, it said.
While in some European countries eggs containing Fipronil residues have been sold as fresh eggs, in the UK this is not the case. Many of the eggs involved were mixed with other eggs which have not come from affected farms so Fipronil residues will be highly diluted.
The products affected are processed foods in which egg is one ingredient among many others, mostly used in sandwich fillings or other chilled foods, according to the Agency.
Fipronil is not authorized for use as a veterinary medicine or pesticide around food producing animals.
Some 85 percent of the eggs consumed in Britain are laid in the country. There is no evidence that eggs laid in the UK are contaminated or that Fipronil has been used inappropriately in the UK. Testing of eggs on farms is underway across the UK and results to date for England and Wales show no exposure to Fipronil, according to the Agency.
"Based on the available evidence there is no need for people to change the way they consume or cook eggs," said Heather Hancock, Chairman of the Food Standards Agency.

To breed snails well, you need to spray water to the container every morning and evening, change soil every two weeks, and feed them with bok-choy and sweet fruits—this is what Sun Youxiang, a fourth-grade primary school student in Hangzhou, capital city of east China’s Zhejiang province, concluded after breeding snails for one year. From three white jade snails at the very beginning to more than 60 snails of four generations now, he has done a great job in his assignment for his Science class.
Witnessing the reproduction of animals is a precious experience for kids. Their creativity, patience, and respect for life will be stimulated as they learn to take care of animals on their own. Sun’s teacher said the assignment served as a good example of life education. Practice is an essential step in learning, which will benefit the kids for a life time.
Life education allows kids to know how to live with nature and creatures in a f.
