High-ranking Mexican cop warned drug cartel of surveillance

WaTimes: A former high-ranking commander in the Mexican Federal Police, who served as the agency’s point of contact with American law enforcement, stands accused of leaking details about DEA investigations to drug cartel members who were under surveillance, according to U.S. federal authorities.

Ivan Reyes Arzate is charged with conspiracy to corruptly obstruct, influence and impede an official proceeding, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois announced Wednesday.

Authorities said the 45-year-old former lawman warned members of the Beltran Leyva drug cartel when the Drug Enforcement Administration tapped their phones and at one point identified a person who had been cooperating with the DEA to gather evidence on the cartel.  read more

  1. Didn’t Arzate learn anything from the Clintons?

    When you take bribes, start a Foundation, have the cartel donate the illegal money and say it’s for the children.

    Little late now, compadre.

  2. So, if the Russians are hacking the American elections, and The New York Times tells the American people that the Russians are hacking the American elections, the Russians can charge The New York Times reporters for blabbing, and expect the United States to extradite the Americans to Russia for show trails.
