"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat
According to an official from the López Obrador government, presidential anger at the "hypocrisy of the DEA" was what led the Mexican authorities to dismantle the Sensitive Investigations Unit, a team that for years worked within national territory with the anti-drug agency.
According to an official from the López Obrador government, presidential anger at the "hypocrisy of the DEA" was what led the Mexican authorities to dismantle the Sensitive Investigations Unit, a team that for years worked in the national territory with the American anti-drug agency. They arrested Iván Reyes Arzate, who confessed to drug trafficking crimes… and later pardoned him, when García Luna's former collaborator offered himself as a collaborating witness.
The agreement that Iván Reyes Arzate reached with the United States Department of Justice by pleading guilty to drug trafficking crimes was the straw that broke the camel's back and led President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to dismantle the Mexican special team who worked with the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
“The president took it as a mockery. Reyes Arzate was proven that he was involved with drug traffickers, with the Sinaloa Cartel, but the DEA pardoned him; you cannot collaborate with US agents this way,” a high-ranking official from the Mexican federal government explains to Proceso.
This week the British news agency Reuters revealed that in April 2021 the López Obrador government dismantled the Sensitive Investigations Unit (SIU), which for years worked with the DEA in the fight against drug trafficking in Mexico.
Reyes Arzate, former commander of the now defunct Federal Police and right-hand man of Genaro García Luna, Secretary of Public Security during the government of Felipe Calderón, pleaded guilty in October last year to drug trafficking charges brought against him by the DEA.
Before the Federal Court for the Eastern District in Brooklyn, New York, where García Luna will be tried for drug trafficking this fall, Reyes Arzate accepted the agreement proposed by the DEA to become a protected witness.
"It just can't be! This man (Reyes Arzate) was García Luna's operator in the Calderón government; the same DEA arrested him in the United States as well as the commander of the Federal Police and for the same reasons, but they don’t work fairly, ”says the Mexican official.
On condition of anonymity –because of the sensitive matter in the relationship with the United States–, the high-ranking official of the López Obrador government explains that since 2020, when Reyes Arzate was arrested by the DEA, it surfaced that the United States would pardon this corrupt ex-cop.
Presidential Anger
During Calderón's six-year term, the DEA worked with and manipulated Reyes Arzate, who was precisely head of the SIU, a team that also included members of the Secretary of the Navy.
“This is a DEA hypocrisy, that is how President López Obrador took it and decided to close that chapter that, if reviewed well, equally exposes the corruption of US agencies. How else can Reyes Arzate's exoneration be understood, if not this way?" adds the source.
I think this is a 100% valid point. I read a good article last year that spoke just of this sort of thing. Apparently there is a huge lust of pardons and govt protected witnesses that aren't available publicly of many a criminal scumbag. These criminals know that talking to the DEA is a get out of jail free card.
ReplyDeleteWill be the first to admit I'm no expert but good on AMLO. Both sides are horribly corrupt we just don't hear about our sides dirty laundry.
What is the point anymore? Even with all of this intelligence and billions spent and yet we still only get 10% of the goods? Addicts are going to die no matter what. That 10% caught (much are staged donkey shows on the foreign side and sold right back). I have no idea what the solution is but a billion dollars could really help some non profits here, while domestic abuse shelters, in the USA run bake sales to purchase new bedding at the women's and children domestic abuse center. Not to mention the 450,000 kids in shitty, corrupt foster care.
You witch Lopez Obrador is number one in the world in index, you Panocuco you think the same, he built barracks for the Military.
Delete8:32 otra ves jumates pasojos de burro con la mota güey?
Delete8:32 What is your point or argument??? Shes not bashing Obrador, so I don't understand your comment.
DeleteShe the witch vis picking on my president, she is a hater, anyone that talks bad about Lopez Obrador is an idiot you stop commenting.
DeleteAMLO is a good president, the second most popular president in the world, and at times number 1. There's alot of smear campagns and info manipulation that the opposition does and people eat it up, most of them non mexicans due to the fact that they don't know how they function in Mexico. For example, one of their tactics is this, the roads are messed up, AMLO tries to pass a bill to fix the roads, but needs 23 of the vote in the house of representitives which they don't have. They block it due to corruption or so he won't look good for fixing the roads, alot of times both, and with no real argument or/and lies they vote against it and it doesn't pass. Then they start complaining that he hasn't fixed the roads. The opposition is straight garbage. They're mad because AMLO keeps closing their fountains of corrupt money and is having them investigated so they could lock them up. He's changing things but it's going slow cause the opposition and the corruption is hindering or trying to hinder his efforts. He just tried to get more national guard , which is like a federal police force, on the street for security and to fight crime, cartels, etc. and the ops voted against it. Then they were complaing of the murder rate and that the streets are not safe. But they had just voted against putting more National Guard on th street. Hypocrisy I tell you
DeleteAMLO angered, not really but blowing the situation away, the real issue was taking it down, because Cienfuegos who is also curupted was molested. Higher ups in Military, manipulated to take action to AMLO to USA and it worked.
ReplyDeletePanocho, I will belittle of you for your ignorant comments, not of your bad language skills. Furthermore, will like to, point out that your comment is stupid and makes no sense.
Delete8:02 how do you "molest" an 80 year old giniral like Cienpedos?
Deletelet's just say his papanicolao was overdue
Reyes Arzate is not exhonerated, he is getting sentence shortened and release for collaborating with USDOJ against bigger stinking fish genarco garcia luna and prolly other accomplices, some of which remain employed under AMLO and Co. Like omar hamid garcia Harfuch of Plataforma slim owner carlos slim helu whose dubious fortune some attribute to drug trafficking and who recommended garcia luna for Public Security Secretary to FECAL through employees of his, many of them Lebanese Lobby, forgotten commander of DFS julian slim helu "el comandante olvidado" also worked with murdering torturer expert in forced disappearances miguel Nazar Haro, who was ordered released from a california prison where he was residing for auto theft by CIA, TOP MEXICAN CRIMINALS HAVE HAD A LONG STORIED LOVE AFFAIR WITH THE DIRTIEST US WHITE COLLAR CRIMINALS, REVENTLY PROVED BY THE RELEASE OF GINIRAL CIENPEDOS BY THE TRUMPANZEE ACHOLYTES.
ReplyDeleteOk so would you agree AMLO is a narco-president?
DeleteI mean his whole team is..
Why would he not be, he's exempt from the law..
There's a LONG list of narco-presidents in Mexico..
If you don't add him now, you will later..
I GUARANTEE IT 💯
8:07 Is the coherence of a wise jotolon

Delete2:26 coherence la que quieres por atrás mañosona,
Delete3:12 tambien quiere pero nomás de la mitá pá trás
Unknown, AMLO made corruption a crime again (the opposition had decriminalized it). Why would he do that and put himself in jeopardy? Give me one good reason.
Delete4:40 MAGA now says:
DeleteSAVE AMERICA...
And I agree, Save America from the trumpanzeed cheeto herds of the Unpresidented Disgrace Son of the Oringe Orangutan...
we need to save México too, from the herds of the neoliberal front of Neo-Carrancistas trying to "carrancear" (google), all of the.country again for personal gain, with help of USAID.
I guess AMLO was pressured into a backdoor defense of garcia Luna! Standard defense lawyer tactic to destroy the credibility of the rat witness! Luna has the info on all the rotten ruling class and politicos!
ReplyDeleteNutts AMLO is number one, yes I love his balls. You take a hike.
DeleteHi panocho.
Delete"Stay Sucking On Big Nuts Truth" how is he trying to discredit Arzate? I'm telling you, your pea b4ain is bad enough, stop your drug use it's only making it worse. He's not protecting Garcia Luna, believe that
DeleteAMLO haters drank the kulei straight from carlos salinas de gortari's dick...
Delete--and don't want to see it end.
Hey ready for the day AMLO leaves, the snakes and the real rats are snooping around for an opening

DeleteAssociated American war lords always make coin off their overcooked shot amd shenanigans
It takes the government to pass the laws, so who's to blame? 😆
DeleteEven in Mexico. You can't blame cartels for over expanding.
Who's letting that happen?
Who's supposed to be in charge of protecting the Mexican citizens in their communities from ANY threats?
💰 makes the world go round
Biden is now being investigated on how he got so rich out of nowhere. They do what they do because they can get away with it.
Biden isnt being investigated for shit you dumb ass. The asshole president before biden is being investigated for all sorts of illegal shit.

DeleteThe trumpanzees e-mails are getting out and leaked all over the place...Hillary broke her phone with a hammer and her broom and not even Benghazi Gowdie could do much more than Miaaau! Like a kitty getting it up the ass and even great oringe orangutan son can't do much more than thumping his ass in frustration, over "Hunter's laptop" bola de putos baratos.
DeleteSomebody needs to invade Mexico to get rid of the trash

Delete6:48 I live off Eloro de Mo'cu...
DeleteAMLO MISSED HIS SHIP straight from Bladdermir Putin
So he is mad that this dude was arrested, and then released after coming to an agreement????
ReplyDeleteBut he doesn't say shit about how many criminals who are wanted for serious crimes such as murders get arrested and suddenly somehow a judge orders their release with the dumbest excuses.
Perps just have to remind DEA and CIA they ordered "the job" and it was done to their specifications to get their "deal", with money on the side...
ReplyDeletethe letter soup don't know themselves who they do really work for, that is insider confidential classified SHIT.
