Cartel Operative in Mexican Anti-Drug Agency

(Mexico City, Mexico) This report should come as no surprise.

Narcotraffic has been embedded in the structure of Mexico’s principal anti-drug agency [SIEDO] for 11 years, according to the US government.

Since 1997, one of principal officials in the anti-drug war, Miguel Colorado González, has been in the service of the Beltrán Leyva Cartel, according to a diplomatic note delivered by the US to Mexico.

The communication refers to the official, known as “El Viejito del Cielo” [the little old man from heaven], as using his position for aiding the illegal activities of the cartel by supplying information regarding police and military operations and the names of those involved, according to the official document.

Mexican Senator Ricardo Monreal considered that the Senate should demand an in-depth investigation regarding the infiltration of organized crime into SIEDO. He said the situation had been reported several years ago and is only the “tip of the iceberg.” He called for the Senate, as well as the Department of Justice, to conduct investigations. ”It seems important to me, worth emphasizing, the acknowledgement of what everyone has known, but that the government has not admitted: the drug cartels have infiltrated police agencies even to the federal level,” he said.

It's also alleged that the drug cartels have infiltrated the U.S. Border Patrol and ICE.

No thanks to the media for giving U.S.-Mexico border problems adequate coverage. Most Americans don't have a clue about the violence and all-out crime.
