Mexico sells off cars from corrupt rich to give to the poor

Funds from auction of 82 cars worth total of 1m will go to deprived communities

Dozens of luxury cars seized from sticky-fingered politicians and mobsters will go under the hammer this weekend as part of a populist anti-corruption crusade being waged by Mexico's leftist president.

Andri(C)s Manuel Lopez Obrador has vowed that proceeds from Sunday's auction will be channelled into social programmes and deprived communities.
