MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico will present three extradition requests this week for the former ruling party governor of the northern border state of Chihuahua, the attorney general's office said on Wednesday.

Cesar Duarte, who governed Chihuahua for President Enrique Pena Nieto's Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) between 2010 and 2016, is wanted on graft charges. He is said by his successor in the job to be in the United States.
