The former governor of the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, Roberto Borge (C) is escorted by the police during his extradition to Mexico, at Panama City’s Tocumen international airport on January 4, 2018.
Panama extradited former Mexican state governor Roberto Borge to Mexico to face charges of alleged graft, the Central American country’s foreign ministry said. Borge, 38, had exhausted legal efforts in Panama to slow the extradition process as he was kept in custody. He was arrested June 4, 2017 in Panama when he tried to board a flight to Paris.
