Lopez Obrador, who took office in December, told a regular news conference his family's cars and home are in his wife's name. Lopez Obrador disclosed monthly net income of 108,744 pesos ($5,600) from his government work and savings worth 446,068 pesos. Mexican politicians have long been accused of obscuring their wealth by registering assets under relatives' names. Lopez Obrador has long cast himself as a man of the people in a poor country. Former Mexican President Vicente Fox, who backed another candidate in the election, criticised the disclosure.
