Teresa Castell de Oro Palacios

Teresa Castell de Oro Palacios is a former federal deputy for the National Action Party (PAN) in Mexico. In recent news, she found herself in the spotlight after acknowledging that she had, in 2023, facilitated a recognition for Juan Pablo Penilla González, the lawyer for the notorious drug lord 'El Mayo' Zambada, at the behest of her advisor. Castell has publicly defended her actions, attributing the recognition to a personal request from her advisor, Alan Balderas, and has criticized the Morena party for allegedly using her name to distract from their own political connections.
