August 24, 2006 TIJUANA – Mexico's top federal prosecutor said yesterday that his agency continues investigating police links to the region's Arellano Félix drug cartel after the detention of suspected cartel leader Francisco Javier Arellano Félix.
Attorney General Daniel Cabeza de Vaca Hernández said two recently detained Rosarito Beach police officers are being linked to the June decapitations of three of their own colleagues and a civilian. The detained officers are suspected of working for the Arellanos.
“It's evident that there is a large protection network not just there but in the city of Tijuana,” he said, according to a transcript of comments he made at a news conference in Mexico City.
Cabeza de Vaca added that his agency also is working with state authorities to root out corrupt officers on the state level.
