FBI arrests Puerto Rican police

Post by Anthony »

Wow - anyone read this story:

One of our undercover agents posing as a dealer selling multiple kilos of cocaine put the word out that he needed security during drug deals. Many of those who responded were cops. They actively took part in the transactions by carrying weapons and patting down the drug buyers who were actually FBI informants. For their protection efforts, the cops were paid between US$500 and US$4,000 for each drug deal. In all, more than US$500,000 was paid in protection money.

This story made the front section of the Boston papers this morning. John and I are going to Vieques in a couple of weeks. I guess we won't do a San Juan add on!

Thanks for the link. I just read it. Soooo, I guess there are some job openings in the PRPD, huh? Wonder if they'll take the sting op to "other" Caribbean territories? :wink: :wink: :(

This is a good starting place in the clean up process. Next step is government officials.

San Juan still has a lot to offer if you have time to visit. Old San Juan is very picturesque. Please post a Vieques trip report when you get back if you can :) thanks!

PR makes the Marion Barry years look squeaky clean :shock:

Anthony, I can honestly say that I am not surprised. I am so grateful that the FBI is following through. Thanks for the link.
