MEXICO CITY—Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who has created his political bones fighting corruption, located himself denying corruption allegations on Friday right after two films emerged exhibiting his younger brother accepting an envelope and a brown paper bag stuffed full of income in 2015 for the president’s political motion.

The release of the films will come just a working day right after graft allegations versus 3 previous presidents rocked Mexico’s political course. The intensive details on alleged bribes and corruption created to prosecutors by Emilio Lozoya, the previous chief of point out oil organization Petróleos Mexicanos, appeared to give a increase to Mr. López Obrador’s political fortunes.

But the most current films, and an accompanying audio recording, could confirm to be at the very least a temporary reversal of fortune for the president.
