About Eugenio Hernández Flores

Eugenio Javier Hernández Flores is a Mexican politician affiliated with the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). He was the mayor of Ciudad Victoria from 2001 to 2004 and governor of Tamaulipas from 2004 to 2010, and was also a federal deputy in 2000–2001 and coordinator of the Financial Committee of Tomás Yarrington during his campaign. On May 27, 2015, he was indicted on charges of money laundering alongside his brother-in-law Óscar Gómez Guerra by the United States Department of Justice (USDOJ). Hernández Flores sought election as one of Tamaulipas's senators in the 2024 Senate election, occupying the first place on the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico's two-name formula. In that year he requested a leave of absence from Congress to stand in Ciudad Victoria's mayoral election, which he won. The charges concern a US$30 million sum plus US$2 million invested in three properties in McAllen, Texas, and a fourth property in Austin, Texas.
