DEA busted for concealing undercover illegal activities from the AG & Congressional oversight…
DEA was conducting money laundering & payments to drug cartels for the purpose of investigating those networks. Generating profits off of the illegal activities that were then to be used to fund further operations….
Seems DEA failed to adequately pursue targets involved in the money laundering networks. They also did not prevent the inappropriate use of funds…
I would not be surprised if these DEA undercover operations were reporting to the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) headed by Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr during the 2014-2017 timeframe…
These DEA undercover money laundering operations were given broad authorization & little to no oversight. Including a case where it was expanded (without separate authority) to launder money for a narco-terrorist organization…
Seems DEA was laundering the money within DEA too, using their money laundering profits to pay for cases not legally authorized as part of the program. Plus using it to pay for travel, expenses, & equipment without proper oversight…
From 2015-2017 DEA 'earned' $8.3M in profit on it's money laundering transactions, which must be a small fraction of the dollars laundered for the cartels & narco-terrorists.
