Mexico's president on Monday urged Washington to investigate "all" officials, including members of elite U.S. law enforcement agencies, with ties to a former Mexican security minister accused of taking bribes from a top drug gang.
The arrest of ex-Security Minister Genaro Garcia Luna in Dallas late last year sent shockwaves across Mexico, where he had spearheaded a militarized assault on powerful drug gangs beginning under former President Felipe Calderon in 2006.
Garcia Luna was subsequently indicted on charges of accepting millions of dollars in bribes from the Sinaloa Cartel, the gang once led by drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.
Speaking at his regular morning news conference, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador called for a wide-ranging inquiry, suggesting that such an investigation could uncover wrongdoing by more than just one official.
"The U.S. government, now that it has begun an investigation, should delve deeper and also investigate officials" with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Lopez Obrador said.
The investigation should cover "all those who intervened during this period, because without a doubt, there was cooperation," the president added.
Lopez Obrador suggested that an inquiry could uncover "criminal association" among officials from both governments.

He’s calling Mexicans who break in here ‘’hero’s’’ for draining money out of our economy. He doesn’t do anything to provide opportunities for his own people.
Indeed it’s why democrats have frost bite on fingers because hands in freezer money packing.
He’s probably up to his eyeballs in the Fast and Furious operation as well.
The cartels are a authorized franchise by centers of influence (Deep State) in the Mexican government who take and distribute huge bribes. When a cartel gets too notorious and they get too far off balance in their murders, they lose the franchise and someone else steps in. Again with the approval of officials in whatever ruling party is in power.
The US government knows this and I believe some sleazy official of the Deep State are participants in the changeover. the goal is to keep things under some US control, but I believe serious money is at stake at as well.
Is it just by chance that El Chapo got a supply of guns large enough for an army to defeat his rivals and take over the most lucrative routes into the US? Can you spell “Fast and Furious” run by Eric Holder and the WH?
Didn’t one of El Chapo’s lieutenants who testified in his trial say hundreds of millions were paid to US officials? Look it up.
