As for your point, I’ve seen this before. There was a case a few years ago when a south american general was on trial in his home country for running cocaine into the US. His defense was that he was working with DEA and they had agreed to send a load through so they could follow it and see all the connections. Sounds like a great idea. They went on to run another dozen loads. So at what point does an investigation become a cover for a smuggling operation.
I didn't know about this. Do you have a link to a good, complete summary of the above? Thanks, marron.
