Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, Undisputed boxing middleweight champion and global sports icon, has recently been linked with a man under suspicion of laundering money for one of the most notorious and dangerous cartels in Mexico, Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG).
The Mexican icon is more than just a world champion boxer, but a business mogul now. He owns clothing lines, gas stations, and a liquor company. However, it’s his most unassuming business venture, his convenience stores, that has him under fire. What is the store’s name? Upper by Canelo Energy, a Mexican convenience store chain that is allegedly used by an individual by the name of Eric Daniel Zamora Delgadillo and his own company to fuel crimes such as theft and illegal sales operations.
