MEXICO CITY - Mexico’s president on Thursday welcomed a proposal to give the alleged fortune of drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman to the country’s indigenous people, and said the wealth of Mexican criminals in the United States should be returned to Mexico.
Speaking at his regular morning news conference, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who earlier this year announced the creation of a “Robin Hood” institute to return ill-gotten wealth to the Mexican people, gave his approval to the idea. Lopez Obrador, a veteran leftist who took office in December, gave few details on the initiative beyond saying that his government would undertake “all necessary legal actions” to go after such money in the United States due to Mexicans.
Lawyer Gonzalez Meza told Reuters that while Guzman, 62, had never admitted to having earned the billions, he was of the view that whatever money the U.S. authorities were referring to should be sent back to Mexico and distributed there.
