Mexico has filed another lawsuit in the United States against US companies it says are fuelling a surge in homicides and the flow of illegal weapons into the country, the Mexican foreign minister announced.
Foreign Relations Secretary Marcelo Ebrard says the new lawsuit targets five US gun dealers all based in the state of Arizona that have contributed to the widespread availability of weapons in Mexico and the country’s high homicide rate.
The move comes just more than a week after a US judge dismissed a separate $10bn lawsuit Mexico filed last year against 11 US gun manufacturers.
