Two Chinese fans robbed at gunpoint in Mexico City during World Cup visit

Wang and Li have since flown back to China, according to Chinese media reports.

“EXTREMELY CORRUPT” MEXICAN POLICE

The robbers “probably got their eye on us when we were exchanging money”, Wang said, adding that he had been wearing a Rolex that was gifted to him.

The two victims contacted local police after arriving at their hotel in Mexico, as well as emergency hotlines of the embassy and Chinese foreign ministry.

“Embassy workers listened to our ordeal and really sympathised with us,” Wang said in his 11-minute-long video.

In another video, Wang claimed that local police were “extremely corrupt” and had asked for money before launching an investigation.

“They even wanted money after they had investigated – if not they wouldn’t care,” Wang said.

“I never thought this would happen to us,” Wang said.

“I think this will be my last time visiting Mexico.”

“I advise everyone, regardless of where you visit, don’t bring designer bags, wear luxury watches, or bring along anything valuable.”
