Federal Comptroller General Ricardo Garcia Sainz acknowledged Monday that there is a regime of corruption among officials and real estate developers in Mexico City.
An investigation into alleged corruption by a previous administration in Cuajimalpa de Morelos, one of Mexico City's 16 boroughs, has revealed not only a network of corrupution in that district but throughout Mexico City.
"There are cases where licenses are granted without attention to policy or there are cases of omission," Garcia Sainz said. "We are living in the midst of a corruption scheme that we can not deny."
