Mexico’s Story
In 2012, Mexico’s Walmart – Walmart de Mexico – was involved in a series of bribery allegations that caught the media’s attention. Mexico became dotted with Walmart stores in a very short amount of time. In fact, it was so quick that many claimed that the speed at which they popped up meant that they were not built legally. The CEO of Walmart de Mexico was said to have personally delivered suitcases of cash to Mexican officials so that he could get building permits.
