It was revealed that Security Secretary Marcela Muñoz Martínez maintains a friendship with Julión Álvarez, and that the singer has shared several photos on social media from visits to Campeche.

Julión Álvarez, one of the leading figures in regional Mexican music, has faced restrictions on entering the United States over alleged ties to organized crime.

In August 2017, he was included on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list in connection with Raúl Flores Hernández, alias “El Tío,” who was under investigation for drug trafficking.

As a consequence, the singer saw his visa suspended, canceled performances in the United States, lost access to his official social media, and was removed from streaming platforms with agreements in that country.

Recent Restrictions and Issues for the Singer

Five years later, in 2022, U.S. authorities dropped the accusations and unfroze his bank accounts, allowing Julión Álvarez to recover his visa and resume some professional activities.

However, in 2024 he again faced restrictions when the U.S. government canceled his work permits and those of his musicians, preventing him from performing at a scheduled concert in Arlington, Texas.

The case of the singer’s father adds to the artist’s legal background and generates speculation about possible repercussions for the regional Mexican performer’s career.
