Mexico Tijuana: Mexico authorities return former mayor to Tijuana to face arms charges - latimes.com: "Jorge Hank Rhon, a controversial casino magnate seen by many critics as an emblem of impunity in Mexico, and 10 other suspects were moved from the capital to a prison in the border city of Tecate. ...
The men were arrested during a military raid early Saturday at Hank's vast compound in Tijuana, where authorities say soldiers found 88 weapons and more than 9,000 rounds of ammunition.
In announcing the charges, federal prosecutors said Wednesday that only 10 of the seized weapons were licensed. Most of the guns were of types whose use is limited by law to the armed forces without military permission."
