MEXICO: Government rejects latest US corruption claims
Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum has vehemently rejected claims made in a New York Times (NYT) article that officials from her ruling left-wing Movimiento Regeneración Nacional (Morena) are working as informants for the US government. According to the article, which was published on 27 June, at least a dozen Mexican officials have offered to share information about fellow politicians with US authorities for corruption investigations targeting two Morena state governors, among others. The report has hit a nerve, coming after the US indicted 10 current and former officials in Sinaloa state for alleged ties with drug cartels [WR-26-18]. While the government has rejected the report as baseless, if true, it indicates that many more such indictments could well be on the way.
