Obviously it is well known and documented that Mexico struggles with corruption at most levels of government but it is startling to see claims that the corruption run this deep. https://www.yahoo.com/news/witness-el-chapo-trial-describes-alleged-100-million-204631704.html "Accused Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman once paid a $100 million bribe to former Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, a former associate testified on Tuesday that he previously told U.S. authorities." I thought it was pretty wild at least.
Yep, we've all known it as just the regular state of things in Latin America. This is just shockingly brazen. Trumpish, even.
