MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A Mexican Supreme Court Justice has resigned, the president’s office said on Thursday, after the judge faced questions about a possible probe by Mexico’s financial intelligence unit.
Justice Eduardo Medina Mora, 62, was appointed under prior President Enrique Pena Nieto in 2015, and, according to local media, was set to serve until 2030.
Under the last administration he also was ambassador to the United States, and under prior President Felipe Calderon, was attorney general.
President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador accepted Medina Mora’s request to leave his post and would send it to the Senate for final approval, his office said, but did not provide further details.
