| 12 Monterrey Police Agents Detained in Corruption Probe |
| 2010-05-13 |
| A judge advocate general of the Nuevo Leon department of state justice has ordered placed in 30 days detention 12 agents of the SecretarÃÂa de Seguridad Pública ( SSP ) of the Monterrey municipal police. The agents are suspected of having ties with Mexican drug gangs, probably the Zetas. The SSP is usually the command element of the Mexican Federal Police, i.e. the Federales, so it is unclear at this point if the 12 detainees were detached to the Monterrey police department, or Monterrey had its own SSP not related to the Mexican federal SSP. The detainees are being held at the State Academy of Police. According to the translated news report, the Secretary of National Defense funded the operation. |
