New York, January 17 (RHC)-- Former Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto accepted a $100 million bribe from drug traffickers, according to a witness who testified at the trial of the notorious Mexican drug lord known as “El Chapo” in New York City.
The allegation came as a former associate of El Chapo, the Colombian drug lord Alex Cifuentes Villa, took the witness stand in a federal district court in Brooklyn. Peña Nieto has not responded to the claim but has previously denied charges of corruption.
