    Mexican star journalist sacked for revealing origin of First Lady’s mansion

    Aristegui's investigative team revealed last year that President Pena Nieto's wife, former soap opera star Angelica Rivera, had bought a mansion from a government contractor.

    An influential Mexican broadcast journalist whose report about the first lady's mansion caused a scandal was sacked on Sunday, sparking anger among supporters who called her firing an affront to freedom of speech. Carmen Aristegui had been publicly feuding with her employer, MVS Radio, in recent days after two of her investigative reporters were fired by the company.
