Tightening 🇲🇽 Mexico

Mexico's organised crime law multiplies penalties

The Federal Law against Organised Crime sharply raised sentences for offences committed as part of a criminal association and introduced arraigo, detention of up to 80 days without a formal charge. Arraigo was written into the constitution in 2008.[1]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Mexico here.
