Casa Blanca Scandal — Peña Nieto's Corruption

Investigative journalist Carmen Aristegui and her team revealed that First Lady Angélica Rivera owned a 7 million dollar mansion ('La Casa Blanca') through a company linked to Grupo Higa, a major government contractor. Peña Nieto denied wrongdoing and Aristegui was fired from MVS Radio — a move widely attributed to government pressure. The scandal devastated Peña Nieto's approval ratings.
