Britain's ambassador to Mexico, Jon Benjamin, was reportedly removed from his position after a video surfaced online, showing him jokingly pointing a high-powered rifle at staff inside a vehicle. The incident took place during an official trip to Durango and Sinaloa, two Mexican states with strong organized crime groups. Benjamin was sacked as ambassador soon after the incident in April. The video was posted on social media by an anonymous account.
