Specifically, he is linked to federal deputy Erasmo González Robledo, chairman of the Budget and Public Account Commission, who has been seen along with Carmona.

There are even images that document that Erasmo González traveled on a private flight with Carmona last January, whom they also identify as an entrepreneur in the branches of construction and civil engineering. In addition, the federal legislator's friendship with the Carmona brothers is public.

Audomaro Martínez Zapata of the CNI to control the Mexican army of the customs of Reynosa and Matamoros but he didn’t count on the fact that Julian Fernandez Fernandez and Gustavo Nieto were trusted by the Spaniard, who claim to be advisors to top officials in the national palace.

During the recent electoral process, Morena's candidates for popularly elected positions in Tamaulipas spent money in abundance, thanks to which they managed to take control of the state Congress from the PAN political party and won the most important municipal presidencies, including the capital.

It is now known that a good part of that money came from the Carmona Angulo brothers, businessmen who have control of customs located at the border and who are engaged in fuel smuggling.

In recent days, the mayor of Ciudad Victoria, Eduardo Gattás, was caught by surprise while driving in a luxury vehicle. And although he assured that it was his property, in reality the vehicle belongs to the company Grupo Industrial Permart SA de CV, whose owner is Sergio Carmona Ángulo, the "King of Huachicol".

On June 2, four days before the elections, the United States Department of Justice reported that the Texas Attorney General's Office was investigating a fuel trafficking network led by brothers Sergio and Julio Carmona Angulo, who obtained profits of more than one million dollars a month from their illicit activities.

The report points out that the Carmona Angulo brothers had given the then general administrator of Customs, Ricardo Peralta Saucedo, two million dollars to let them operate at the customs office located in Reynosa.

During the campaign period, Morena dissidents denounced on social networks that the Carmona brothers have financed several campaigns since 2018, including those of federal deputy Erasmo González Robledo, currently chairman of the Budget Committee of the Chamber of Deputies.

The "King of Huachicol", Sergio Carmona Angulo, was seated in the front row in the second work report of the federal deputy, in September 2020.
