Mexico City: Prosecutor Mexico said the week they had demanded seven people, including former high-ranking officials, in the weapon trade scandal “fast and angry”.
The murder of December 2010 Brian Terry’s border patrol agent exposed the careless “fast and angry” investigation, where agents from the US alcohol bureau, tobacco, firearms and explosives allowed criminals to buy weapons with the intention of tracking weapons.
But the agency lost most of the weapons, including two found in Terry’s death in South Arizona.
The US government has been very pursuing prosecution of men involved in the murder.
Mexico said the Mexican drug gang and former officials also participated or failed to stop trafficking weapons.
The Attorney General’s Office Mexico said this week had submitted weapons trade allegations against seven people in older cases than a decade, including the former Top police officer, Genaro Garcia Luna, and former Durg Lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.
Garcia Luna was arrested in Texas in 2019 and currently facing trials in the US for allegedly protecting drug gangs.
Mexico has asked for its extraction to face illegal enrichment charges.
Garcia Luna served as Head of Security in the Government of President Felipe Calderon 2006-2012 and was the leader of the government’s struggle for organized crime.
Also charwen was the former Federal Police commander Luis Cardenas Palomino, who was considered the right man of Garcia Luna.
Mexico has caught Cardenas Palomino on charges of torture, and the US prosecutor has accused him of accusing him to receive millions of bribes from the Sinaloa cartel.
Mexico also accused Guzman in the case of weapons trade, but he had served a life sentence in Colorado.
