The infamous former governor of Coahuila, Humberto Moreira, is in dispute with Forbes Magazine and its inclusion of him on their recently released list of Most Corrupt Mexicans.
He claims Forbes is responsible to him for ensuing damage following the publication of the article titled : "The 10 most corrupt people of Mexico in 2013."
In a letter from Mexico City law firm Christian Zinser
Cieslik and Associates to the U.S. based magazine, charging the article, authored by Dolia Estevez, is false and has harmed their client.
 |
The law firm stressed that the information published online and in the magazine publication is defamatory and malicious towards their client.
They have charged both the publication and Dolia Estevez responsible and says compensatory and punitive damages are in order.
On behalf of Humbero Moreira they request a retraction and an immediate apology to their client to be published in a prominent place on Forbes.
