'YA THINK DRAINING THE SWAMP IS GOING GLOBAL?
Mexico's Former Defense Minister Arrested On Drug Trafficking Charges By DEA
As a sign of just how the continuing US-Mexico "war on drugs" and by extension the war on cartels is going, no less than Mexico's former top leader of the armed forces has been arrested
The country's former defense minister,Gen. Salvador Cienfuegos, was taken into US custody after landing at Los AngelesInternational Airport on Thursday. The US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) had a warrant for his arrest - no doubt a huge shock to the high profile general given he was traveling with his family, presumably on vacation.
The charges are related to corruption and drug trafficking ties, including large-scale cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine distribution and conspiracy, as well as conspiracy to launder the narcotics proceeds through illicit banking transactions, according to the just released indictment.
The 72-year oldgeneral was defense minister under former President Enrique Peña Nieto from 2012 to 2018
