Proceso is Mexico's best written publication, and is one of the best written publications in the world in any languageI just hate their politics. WASHINGTON (Proceso). - In this city, US officials and former officials have no empathy in considering the capture and release of Ovidio Guzmán López - son of Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán - as a claudication of the government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador before the Sinaloa Cartel. "The president of Mexico just made a pact with the devil, essentially tells the Sinaloa Cartel, 'You are the bosses'" says a Process Jack Riley, former chief of intelligence operations for the DEA, who devoted much part of his career chasing the Sinaloa kingpin. Like Riley, two US Department of Justice officials in charge of cooperation with Mexico in the fight against drug trafficking question why Ovid Guzmán was released, one of the four surviving sons of the Badiraguato-born bonnet. “We could not believe it when we received the report from our agents in Mexico. Ovid Guzmán is one of the important objectives of the bilateral efforts to dismantle what remains of the Chapo Guzmán cell , ”one of the officials comments in an interview. In the Culiacán operation, where Guzmán López was temporarily detained, the Federal Drug Administration (DEA) was not involved, as some Mexican media pointed out, officials said. “We learned when the fray of the gunmen of the Sinaloa Cartel began against the Mexican authorities who went to the house where the offender was. The cooperation we have with the new government is not the same as in the past, ”says the other Justice Department official, who requested anonymity, as his partner. And he adds: “There is confusion. The Mexican press began to say that they tried to capture Ovid by our demand. False. If that had happened, we would have asked for the intervention of the Mexican Navy, which is better prepared for high-risk operations. ” ( Fragment of the special report published in Process 2242, already in circulation ) Posted by: badanov 2019-10-20 |
