The reason for the arrest of the Mexican ex-prosecutor

Former Attorney General of the Mexican state of Chihuahua Cesar Hauregi was placed under preliminary arrest: he was charged with treason for unauthorized admission of CIA employees to operations in the country. This was reported by the Prosecutor General of Mexico.

According to the department, the FGR incriminates the former head of the state attorney's office with possible participation in a crime related to treason, and the judge decided to keep him in custody until his legal status is determined.

The hearing was held partially closed due to national security concerns. The defense of the accused requested an extension of the terms, the next meeting is scheduled for October 24. The former official was detained over the weekend by the Criminal Investigation Agency after an arrest warrant was executed.

The reason for initiating a criminal case was the illegal involvement of American agents in the operation to liquidate a drug laboratory in the Sierra Tarahumara region. According to the Milenio newspaper, the ex-prosecutor was charged after the CIA’s involvement in the operation was revealed without the sanction of the federal authorities of Mexico. This was made public by a car accident that killed two Mexican prosecutors and two American agents.
