http://thehill.com/latino/303691-trump-accused-of-tax-fraud-in-mexicoTrump accused of tax fraud in Mexico
A Mexican government official filed a federal criminal tax fraud complaint Friday against Donald Trump in Tijuana, Mexico, related to Trump Ocean Resort, a real estate project that folded in 2009.
Jaime Martínez Veloz, a former member of Mexicos Congress who is now a mid-level official with the Mexican federal government, also sent a letter to the mayor of Tijuana, asking city hall to determine if any local regulations were violated by the failed development.
Martínez filed the criminal complaint as a private citizen. Under the Mexican legal system, private criminal complaints are filed directly to prosecutors, not to the police.
In the letter, Martínez said hed filed a complaint seeking for federal charges against the GOP presidential nominee so that once legal requirements demanded by national laws are gathered, the corresponding legal action can be executed, reported La Jornada newspaper.

(851 posts)6. I just re-read it. The article you linked
doesn't say or imply that Mr Trump can't go to Mexico. I guess you'll have to explain the logic to me. Thanks.

abandoned Trump projects. Lots of people suffered from that.

.....like a drunken frat boy who started a fight in Tijuana, just sounds too hilariously awesome. Make it so.
Or at least make a movie about it.
