Lamborghini Murcielago, Ford Shelby pickup truck with video camera embedded in the front grill and 17 bulletproof Chevrolet Suburbans among vehicles seized from alleged criminals auctioned off by Mexican government.
A 2007 Lamborghini Murcielago, a 2016 Ford Shelby pickup truck with a video camera embedded in the front grill and 17 bulletproof Chevrolet Suburbans were among the vehicles seized from alleged criminals auctioned off by the Mexican government.
In addition to those seized from alleged drug kingpins and tax cheats, the government put up for sale some of its own vehicles that it no longer used -- some that had been in warehouses for a decade, according to the AP. Ricardo Alvarado, a researcher with Mexicans Against Corruption and Impunity, a watchdog group, told the AP holding the auction there was symbolic.
López Obrador has slashed government salaries, including his own, aggressively trimmed budgets, and said he plans to sell the presidential jet and fly commercially. He claims to own fewer than a dozen suits. He wears a Timex watch.
