Mexican Beauties’ Drug Problem
Mexico’s drug problems have taken a turn for the, well, beautiful. According to The Guardian, “Mexican politicians were yesterday calling for an investigation into ties between the nation's popular beauty pageants and leading drug cartels.” The calls came after the reigning Miss Sinaloa, Laura Zúñiga Huizar, was arrested with a top trafficker. Mexican officials fear drug dealers have “adopted” performers and may be intervening on their behalves in competitions. The 23-year-old Zúñiga was found in a car with a known drug dealer, six bodyguards, assault rifles, pistols and ammunition clips, 16 cell phones, and about $53,000 in cash.
