REGION: Which way for the corruption story?
Perhaps more so than in any other recent month, in May 2016 most top news headlines in Latin America – including those announcing the impeachment trial of President Dilma Rousseff of Brazil (who was forced to step down from office on 12 May) – have been wholly or partly driven by claims of corruption. The list includes allegations of narco-electoral influence in Peru, an ongoing debate over transparency in Mexico, claims of vote-buying in the Dominican Republic, continuing revelations over the “Panama Papers” financial secrecy and tax evasion scandal, and allegations of money-laundering by the former President of Argentina.
