MEXICO CITY, July 24 (AP)

President Vicente Fox’s campaign violated election law by accepting more than half a million dollars in illegal donations during his successful presidential bid in 2000, investigators charged Thursday.

THE FEDERAL Electoral Institute said in a report that the Fox campaign took donations of $100,000 and $160,000 from two foreign donors. The report didn’t name the alleged donors.
Investigators compiling the report also found that Fox’s campaign received $284,000 in contributions from sitting senators from his conservative National Action Party, also an election law violation. ---

In addition, the president’s campaign failed to report $9.3 million in general donations it received throughout the entire campaign, the report said. ---

In March, federal electoral officials fined the former ruling party known $45 million for accepting illegal campaign contributions.

1. Hmmmm....is this Bush's punishment of Fox for not bowing down to him?

Sounds like the stuff they have done with Dems in the past.
