Mexican magnate wanted for tax fraud has left country, govt says

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A prominent Mexican businessman who faces tax fraud charges left Mexico earlier this year, the government said on Friday.

Miguel Aleman, a co-founder of budget airline Interjet, last left Mexico on Jan. 31, possibly months before a warrant for his arrest was issued. He took off from the international airport in Toluca, a state capital about an hour outside Mexico City, the National Migration Institute (INM) said in brief statement.
