DescriptionThe mayor of the Mexican resort city of Cancun, Gregorio Sanchez Martinez, has been formally charged with drug-trafficking, money laundering and organised crime.

The charges mean he must give up his campaign to be governor of the state of Quintana Roo.

Prosecutors say there is evidence he protected two of Mexico's biggest drugs gangs and lived well beyond his means.

Mr Sanchez's party, the PRD, says the charges are politically motivated.
