Mexico Unable to Rein Organized
Crime
The Mexican Public Functions
Office (SFP) denounced the
absence of mechanisms and
national security laws to detect
and stop organized crime´s
infiltration into the
government, which cripples the
battle against crime and
corruption.
The statement relates to
Monday's arrest of three pilots
of the National Water Commission
in Campeche, southeast Mexico,
while flying more than five tons
of cocaine.
Two of the accused, Fernando
Poot Perez, assistant flight
coordination manager, and Marco
Aurelio Perez, flight staff
coordinator, are both ex
military. The first served time
in jail for crimes against
health. The third pilot was
Colombian Miguel Vazquez Guerra,
47.
The Attorney General's Office
reported that the 128 black
suitcases confiscated from the
plane contained five tons of
cocaine, worth more than 100
million dollars on the black
market.
