Mexico leader faces charge contractor rewarded him with mansion

9. This is pri and this is how they work.

Enrique Pena Nieto was governor of mexico state (where I am) before president. A good friend's brother was a driver for pena nieto's family, just a typical uneducated driver, and wound up with a fleet of trucks, a string of houses. He has 2 houses where we live, very nice houses for he and his son, with cctv and very extravagant and high walls around them that he has never lived in. A lot of land, built houses for many different family members, flew his mother and father to another state in a private plane just to eat. It's unbelievable what this guy got for a job that typically just pays a few hundred a month. My friend and his wife live in a house built by him.

This is not news to people here. He did not win election, it was stolen.

"It may also test his image as a leader who claims to battle corruption and fight for the rule of law."

Where is that? In the US maybe, but certainly not here. This is the first I have even heard of battling corruption and the rule of law.
