Visitors looking to explore the dark side of Mexico's northern industrial city of Monterrey board a striking blue bus, painted with the faces of local politicians alongside pigs and rats clutching bags of money. The bus stops at 10 city landmarks while a recording plays, detailing how public money has been allegedly misspent and siphoned off at these places - the government palace, state congress and other public buildings. This is the 'Corruptour', set up by the Mexican anti-graft organisation Via Ciudadana in one of Latin America's most affluent cities to expose the abuse of power and misuse of public funds that is rife in Mexico and goes largely unpunished.
