Mexican Troops Detain Police Chief in Cancun, 36 Other Officers Arrested in Connection to Murder of ex-Army Leader

Mexican troops swarmed a police station in the municipality of Benito Juarez in Cancun and detained the police chief along with 36 other officers who may have been connected to the murder of an ex-army leader who had headed up a special unit designed to tackle the drug cartels.

 

The troops seized the weapons of police chief Francisco Velasco and the other officers and Velasco was then flown to Mexico City for questioning. Velasco is alleged to have connections to the murder of former general Mauro Enrique Tello.

 

Tello, along with two other men, had been abducted, tortured and shot earlier this year; one day after Tello took his new position.

 

Many are blaming a corrupt police force and powerful drug cartels for the staggering 5,400 murders in Mexico in 2008.
