MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico's president apologized on Monday for a 2014 scandal involving a $7 million mansion bought by his wife from a company that won lucrative contracts with his administration.

President Enrique Pena Nieto had reacted crossly at the time to those who criticized the purchase, saying there were "countless versions and falsehoods" surrounding the story.

First lady Angelica Rivera also reacted angrily at the time, denying she had done anything wrong. She claimed she was using money she earned during her career as an actress.

But she later returned the mansion, which she had been paying for in installments.

Typical Mexican Plutocrat where the Spanish types get to crush the more Indian ethnicity mexicans.

Yeah, they should just codify it with lobbyists and speaking fees so it’s not corruption anymore.

And this scandalous behavior is supposed to surprise us how? The whole friggin’ country has been plagued by scandal, robber barons, drug lordships, mega-death, and mega transferrance of its populace and that of neighboring countries to our own.

The Trump Wall will become a tourist attraction for decades to come. Nieto and wifey are nothing more than repeat of the last presidential couple.

Yeah, throw a banana to the one on the right end! From the look of it, they just emptied the sewage treatment pond.

“Nothing has changed in Mexico, corruption run amuck...now happening in our government.”

We’re importing Mexican corruption.
