Mexican prosecutors have asked a federal judge to jail 31 renowned scientists on charges of organized crime and money laundering
Mexican prosecutors have asked a federal judge to jail 31 renowned Mexican scientists on charges of organized crime and money laundering, part of a growing dispute between the leftist government and the country’s leading academics and universities.
