Mexican drug lord’s villa auctioned to fund virus fight

The Mexican government has auctioned off the villa of drug lord Amado Carrillo Fuentes to raise funds for the public health service and its fight against coronavirus.

Carrillo Fuentes, who was known as the “Lord of the Skies”, died in 1997 after botched plastic surgery.

His former house went for more than $2m (£1.6m) and the auction – which also included cars, planes and jewellery – raised more than $4.5m in total, all of it going to tackle Covid-19.
