The manufacturer and exporter of a wide range of products, including electronics and cars, Mexico is an economic powerhouse and an attractive target for foreign investment – albeit one with a long history of corruption that permeates all aspects of its society. In the past several years, however, the public has called for legal reform to address this corruption, and Mexico’s Congress responded with the passage of new anti-corruption legislation.
