1995-1999 On February 28, 1995, Raúl Salinas, the brother of former President Carlos Salinas, was arrested at his Mexico City home and was considered the mastermind of the Ruiz Massieu assassination.[citation needed] Three days later, Mario Ruiz Massieu was arrested in Newark, United States, boarding a plane to Madrid while carrying US$46,000 (equivalent to $92,000 in 2023) in unreported cash. The government charged him with obstructing the investigation of his brother's murder. The government also found US$17 million ($34 million in 2023) in U.S. bank accounts linked to Mario Ruiz Massieu. He was not found deportable.[1] Mario Ruiz Massieu committed suicide in 1999.[2][3]
