Politicians use the same methods that the illegal organized crime organizations (as opposed to the legal ones) use to steal, hide and transfer assets. Of course, the two groups specialize in different kinds of stolen goods, one group steals public property and tax revenues, the other steals private property and smuggles drugs, but they think alike.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-36070091985487073392012-06-25T13:14:34.612-06:002012-06-25T13:14:34.612-06:00Why do you suppose there is so little real will in...Why do you suppose there is so little real will in Mexico to attack the narcos on all possible fronts?

Money laundering is what feeds the corruption of politicians and bureacrats in Mexico. Politicians allow dirty narco money to flow to legitimate investments, that they themselves profit from in back room deals and straw buyers. How else would politicians like Salinas de Gortari and Cevallos amass fortunes in the 100's of millions of dollars on a low government salary???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
