The former president of Mexico, Enrique Peña Nieto, took a $100 million bribe from Joaquín Guzmán Loera, the infamous crime lord known as El Chapo, according to a witness at Mr. Guzman’s trial.
The stunning testimony was delivered Tuesday in a New York courtroom by Alex Cifuentes Villa, a Colombian drug lord who worked closely with Mr. Guzmán from 2007 to 2013, when the kingpin was hiding from the law at a series of remote ranches in the Sierra Madre mountains.
“Mr. Guzmán paid a bribe of $100 million to President Peña Nieto?” Jeffrey Lichtman, one of Mr. Guzmán’s lawyers, asked Mr. Cifuentes during cross-examination.
“Yes,” Mr. Cifuentes said.
Mr. Guzmán may offer more details soon. Shortly after the jury was excused around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Mr. Lichtman submitted his client’s name to the prosecution as a potential witness for the defense, confirming that the drug trafficker might testify in his own trial.

If it has to be in politics, feel free to move it.

I think it’s a lot of cash, and a little bit spare money never hurts.. I guess.


Bribe me if old.

Nieto must have a low perceived IQ.

I’d like to think I wouldn’t because the drugs like heroin and meth/cocaine ruin lives and communities, but then nobody has ever offered me briefcases of cash so that’s one of those situations. I’m not thinking El Chapo would take opposition real well

Fucking Mexico

We call those "political" contributions here in America. He simply started his own PAC. Jokes aside this is the prime reason why the Mexico issue persists. And you can be fucking dead on certain American politicians are being paid off as well. No wonder some don't want a wall.

People saying no thinking that this was negotiable lol

Excerpt taken from the discussion between the two:

El Chapo: Here is $100,000,000. I get to do whatever I want
Nieto: What about this wall that the US wants to build?
El Chapo: Not a concern to me. Walls are not effective. We can just overstay VISAs, and come on planes.

The 100mio plus 10kg then it's a deal

This is how you buy your wife a mansion to keep her quiet as well.

Mexico is a failed state.

The drugs are smuggled through the ports of entry, water, and train. More walls (because there already is a lot of physical barrier) would be minimal in combating the drug flow.
