Union head Elba Esther Gordillo, known as Mexico's most powerful woman, has been arrested on corruption¹ charges.

墨西哥最有权势的女人，工会主席厄尔巴·艾斯特·戈迪略涉嫌贪污被捕。

Ms Gordillo, 68, is known simply as "la maestra" or "the teacher"

Ms Gordillo, who runs the 1.5 million-member Mexican teachers' union, is alleged² to have diverted about $200m from union funds to personal accounts.

No-one from her legal team has responded to the allegations, but in the past she has denied any wrongdoing in handling the funds.

The arrest came after major reforms to the education system on Monday.

President Enrique Pena Nieto signed the sweeping³ reforms, which seek to change a system dominated by Ms Gordillo in which teaching positions could be sold or inherited.

"We are looking at a case in which the funds of education workers have been illegally misused⁴, for the benefit of several people, among them Elba Esther Gordillo," Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam said.

His office alleges⁵ Ms Gordillo, 68, used the money on property, including in the US, private airplanes and plastic surgery.
