Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador showed a video of former senate officials counting bags full of pesos, calling it evidence of the “filth” of previous administrations.

The four minute-long footage -- which was originally leaked on YouTube on Sunday -- shows officials who worked in the senate during the previous administration counting thousands of pesos in alleged bribes that are stuffed into duffel bags. Its veracity has not been confirmed by Mexican authorities.
