Mexico's president said Thursday that plagiarism allegations plaguing one of Mexico's top judges were born out of political scheming by his opponents, a day after the judge's alma mater said she copied "a substantial part" of her thesis.
President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador cast doubt on the verdict, and criticized the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), one of Latin America's most prestigious universities, for failing to rule if the judge's degree was now void.
