Justice and law in Mexico , the courts, the cartels, the corruption, and the rare wins. From high-profile arrests to the systemic failures that keep 95% of crimes in impunity.
Justice
Gilda Susana Lozoya Austin was detained at Mexico City International Airport after seven years on the run, as prosecutors widen the Agronitrogenados corruption case.
politics
Chihuahua Governor Maru Campos says she was summoned to testify as a witness but the real intent was to fabricate criminal charges against her after a CIA-linked narcolab raid in the sierra of Morelos.
Drug Trafficking
A governor, two senators, a vice-fiscal, and Culiacán's mayor all appeared before federal prosecutors on the same day after a sweeping US indictment alleged cartel infiltration at the highest levels of Sinaloa's government.
Mexico
Mexico's attorney general has called in two sitting state governors for questioning in criminal drug trafficking investigations, a move that crosses a political line rarely tested in modern Mexican politics.
