Mexican politician caught:

A fugitive former governor of the Mexican state of Veracruz, wanted on suspicion of embezzling millions of dollars of public money, was this week tracked down to Panajachel, a resort town in the highlands of Guatemala – ending a six-month manhunt that spanned three continents. Javier Duarte served as governor from 2010 until last October, when he abruptly stood down to fight the criminal allegations against him, then vanished. While on the run, he had become a symbol of malfeasance among Mexico’s politicians, and a huge embarrassment to the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). A second, allegedly corrupt, governor was arrested in Italy last week; a third remains at large, and may be in the US.
