The Mexican federal government has arrested Narciso Agundez Montaño, the ex-govenor of Baja California Sur (2005-11) for a host of crimes which led to
the ex-governor receiving 52 million pesos illegally through the corrupt handling of sales of public land in Los Cabos.
Nice to see someone, somewhere being held accountable for their illegal actions.
yes, it has been a huge story here in BCS...pretty embarassing as he was touted the best governor we ever had! I must admit I'm surprised he's in jail
and word is that due to the seriousness of his crimes and the amount of money involved...he is not eligible for bail.
they found him when they questioned his son at the airport and he said he was on his way to see his dad (who was laying low on the mainland)...oooops.sancho - 5-31-2012 at 10:22 AM
Back in the day, early '80's I guess, before the Cape started
to develop, I believe it was Pres Echeverria or Pres
Madrid, who was smart enough or received insider trading
of sorts to aquire x amount of land at the Cape,
I suppose it is quite commonbajajudy - 5-31-2012 at 10:43 AM
He was picked up in Monterey
The pictures showed him in a flak jacket, wrists cuffed behind him.
I have met him many times. He sure seemed like a nice enough guy.DavidE - 5-31-2012 at 10:50 AM
In México, any actions like this are the focus of political vendetta, and not based on moral outrage. Whether the accused is guilty or not has no
bearing. Politics is the motive.SFandH - 5-31-2012 at 12:22 PM

whoaaaaaaaaa he actually did a lot for our village .... donated money for the middle school ...donated many computers for the computer lab ..... and
the governor fishing tournaments were all under his time in office, right ?
About 10 (?) years ago, the governor of Quintana Roo was arrested for a similar scheme, obtaining beachfront property under questionable terms for
later sale. It seems that a little corruption is tolerated, as long as they don't get too greedy.Cypress - 5-31-2012 at 04:08 PM
