The EFF reports that, in an ironic twist of karma, FBI agents arrested a Mexican tycoon named Jose Susumo Azano Matsura at his Coronado, Calif. home on Wednesday as part of a political bribery investigation based on captured emails, seized banking records, and covertly recorded conversations. Azano, and three Americans who acted as his agents, are now facing felony charges in an alleged conspiracy to illegally pump roughly $500,000 into local election campaigns in the border city of San Diego.
Does SoylentNews have contributors from Mexico to share with us some insight (or just local gossip) about this shoddy character?"

Wow, I'm impressed. It takes some skill to find a way to give money to a US politicians that isn't legal. You pretty much have to be caught on video saying, "I will give you this wheelbarrow full of laundered twenties after, and on the condition that, you vote in favor of my pork." I'm pretty sure even that is legal as long as you then turn to the camera and say in a stage whisper, "Just kidding."
