The saga continues: Mexico drug trial: Ex-mayor of Cancun freed as case appears to fall apart - latimes.com and then Mexican prosecutors accuse former Cancun mayor of smuggling Cuban migrants - The Washington Post
My favorite part: "Prosecutors can’t get an arrest warrant for Sanchez because judges are on vacation."
Hey ToriB, I cannot believe over 130 ppl have read this thread and you are the only one to post a Reply. Must be boring to the others. Or what?
Actually, although he was recently released, he was "supposedly" involved in aiding to bring in cuban illegals. Also, it was found that Some people in Immigration were also found to be helping illegals, from different countries which is why there was a huge cleanup, about a year ago in immigration department, bothin the city and at aiport. All I wonder is WHY did it take officials over a year to realise this,when it has been Very public knowledge if you read the paper.
Ran into Greg, his wife, kids and 6 body guards in Wal Mart just 40 mins ago. I thought he was supposed to still be in jail..?
Nope. Guilty people either don't go to jail or don't stay there very long. Got out the other day and was like a returning hero at the airport! "I don't want anything to do with politics anymore." he said. Spoken like a good politician. Let's see how long it takes him to run again. Or make a new gospel album. He has already asked the local government--that has no money--to supply him with 5 police as a bodyguard.
On the allegations of theft from the city coffers (early reports spoke of 800,000,000 pesos) I suspect they couldn't get any of those involved to "turn". To pull off a theft (embezzlement) of that size would have required the cooperation of a number of people involved in handling the city's revenues; they would also have profited from it. It may be that the records showed, clearly, that the money was gone, but not so clearly who had actually gotten hold of it, absent a witness from inside the loop. Whether a civil action would stand against those responsible for managing and safeguarding the city's monies is another question, and might not reach to Greg, himself, in his capacity as mayor. It would be an interesting question whether Mexican courts recognize the taxpayers as potential plaintiffs to such a suit. The City has been robbed of critically needed resources, and the evidence of it is seen on every street, and sidewalk.
Jim: Hahaha V: "As long as the grass in the HZ is cut nice and even..." Gringation: Bulls Eye! He had people coming up to him and congratulating him and such... His wife was all smiles and waiving at their fans. Im assuming she was cleared as well..
