In his morning press conference on May 27, López Obrador himself complained to the US Government that it had not deposited the resources that it had announced a year earlier with “Hype” that would return to Mexico:
“And I think they are going to return to us about 4 billion that the US authorities announced (…) a year ago, they made a big deal about returning the funds to us (…) but so far there is nothing, what they gave was a tip to the Attorney General’s Office.”
That was the second reproach in more than a year that he made to the US Department of State to return the 246 million confiscated to Villareal, after the president himself announced the return in the morning press conference on April 12, 2023 that:
“The United States Attorney’s Office has been notified that they are going to return money, property that was confiscated from an official. There is an appraisal of what was confiscated in the United States from this man named Héctor Javier Villarreal Hernández.”

“They told us that they had confiscated the money from a Finance official of the Government of Coahuila, that they had taken that money from him in the United States, and that they were going to return that money to us.”
