"The mayor of Tequila, a city in Jalisco state, Mexico, was arrested along with three other officials accused of extorting beer and tequila companies in the state, the Mexican authorities said on Thursday."

The mayor, Diego Rivera Navarro, was detained as part of the federal government’s crackdown, known as Operation Swarm, on criminal networks that allow cartels to operate with impunity by co-opting municipal officials. He is a member of Mexico’s governing party, Morena."
