Videoscandals

The Videoscandals were political scandals in Mexico in 2004 when videos of prominent politicians taken with hidden cameras were made public. The majority of them involve close collaborators of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, then Mayor of Mexico City: his finance chief Gustavo Ponce and right-hand man René Bejarano; and notable figures from his party, the PRD, in corrupt dealings with former business man Carlos Ahumada. In 2006 the issue was refueled, threatened to show more videos involving more López Obrador collaborators, and later suffered an attempt on her life.
