Czech police have heightened security around Mexico's embassy in Prague after Mexican authorities requested the arrest of a former high-ranking official accused of corruption.
The individual in question, whose identity has not been officially confirmed, served as a minister in Mexico's previous government and is allegedly involved in a multimillion-dollar graft scandal.
Diplomatic Tensions Rise
The request has sparked concerns over potential diplomatic friction between the two nations. Prague has yet to confirm whether it will comply with Mexico's extradition request, but sources suggest the Czech Republic is carefully reviewing legal protocols.
Increased Embassy Protection
In response to the situation, Czech law enforcement has deployed additional officers near the Mexican embassy to prevent any unrest. A police spokesperson stated, "We are ensuring the safety of all diplomatic personnel and facilities."
Mexican officials have declined to comment further, citing the sensitivity of the ongoing investigation.
