DALLAS -- Mexican authorities are investigating allegations of corruption and improper behavior at the Mexican consulate here, triggering calls from political leaders on both sides of the border for an ethics review at Mexico's consular offices in the U.S.

The head of Mexico's Foreign Affairs Ministry, which oversees all diplomatic outposts abroad, said Mexican authorities are probing the Dallas consulate in connection with irregularities in the collection of passport fees.

Enrique Hubbard, the Dallas consul general, said he launched an investigation after he discovered irregularities in the collection of passport fees, but declined to provide details.

Senior diplomats familiar with the corruption allegations said an employee at the consulate was recording long-term passports, which generate higher fees, as cheaper short-term passports, then pocketing the difference. The employee wasn't identified.
