Mexican Federal authorities have arrested the former commissioner of the Federal Police, F. R, for the plot of firearms trafficking in the Fast and Furious case.

The arrest warrant against the former official during the PAN government Felipe Calderón was executed by members of the Secretary of the Navy and the Attorney General's Office after the former police commissioner ran over a woman, who was identified being a nurse, with his car, causing her death in Mexico City.

Hours later, the detainee boarded a plane to a prison in Hermosillo, Sonora because the arrest warrant was released by a judge in that state.

F.R, 56, was one of the closest collaborators of Genaro García Luna, who is now in prison in the United States for drug trafficking.

F.R, who was also Secretary of Public Security of the State of Puebla from 2013 to 2015, was driving a white luxury vehicle and after the incident he admitted to the road agents that he did not notice the woman's presence and ran her down with his car.

Video shows how the victim was projected a few meters after being hit by the former commissioner's vehicle. The paramedics who attended the scene confirmed the woman's death due to severe encephalic skull trauma.

After the incident, F.R. was transferred to the agent of the Public Ministry, in order to determine responsibilities, there the authorities realized that he had an arrest warrant against him for the case of arms trafficking in the Fast and Furious case.

After he was insured for the crime of manslaughter, F.R. has been transferred to the Special Prosecutor for Organized Crime (FEMDO).

Earlier this year, a federal judge ordered his arrest for his involvement in the Fast and Furious case. Along with him, the capture of six more people – former government officials and drug lords – related to the controversial operation of illegal arms trafficking from the United States to Mexico was also requested.

Among those mentioned are Genaro García Luna , Secretary of Public Security during the Government of Felipe Calderón (2006-2012); Luis Cárdenas Palomino, Intelligence Coordinator of the Federal Police during the same period; and the former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán.

The Fast and Furious operation occurred between 2009 and 2011 when the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) – with the permission of the Obama Administration, but without notifying Congress – allowed the departure of 2,500 weapons illegal to Mexico.

The plan, which sought to trace the activities of the drug cartels through weapons, failed and the trace of the weapons was lost. In February 2011, one of them killed US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent Jaime Zapata in an attack in San Luis Potosí.

The Prosecutor's Office has indicated that the then officials knew of this "absolutely illegal and inadmissible" operation and that Guzmán Loera was the leader of the main organization that received the weapons.

"It was established that these weapons were not only illegally introduced into the country, but that they have also been used in various criminal acts, which have already been investigated and prosecuted in Mexico," explains the Prosecutor's Office in a statement.

El Chapo is in a maximum security prisonin Colorado (USA) serving a life sentence for drug trafficking; García Luna is awaiting trial in New York for his complicity with the drug cartels; Cárdenas Palomino was arrested in July 2021 and sent to the Altiplano prison, in Almoloya de Juárez, accused of torture in the Florence Cassez case.

i wonder if he finished his text message after he hit her

~ And that's only one part of the illegal weapons that are exported from the U.S. to Latin America.
~ Yet Russia is the #1 seller of illegal military & assault weapons to Latin America.
~ Which only denotes that Latin America which is 95% owned & controlled by drug cartels, with the rest being rich & powerful corrupt politicians, military, & law enforcement agencies, are in secret cahoots with Russia, just in case the U.S. gets into a war with either of them.
~ So if the U.S. starts a war with Russia, then Latin America will engage the U.S., & if the U.S. engages with Latin America, then Russia will engage with the U.S..

[William May]

Latin America will NOT be engaging with the U.S. NATO and the allies will engage with Russia if Russia invades Ukraine. So, the U.S. won't be starting a war with Russia. Russia will be starting the war.
Just so no one is confused on this.

Car to his right was clearly blocking the view of the pedestrian. That joke doesn’t apply here.

She was perfectly camouflaged by wearing a white top and black pants through that black and white striped crosswalk.

Exactly what I was thinking. Subconscious suicide?

haven't gone thru the looooong background story... looking at the footage it's not driver's fault... it was green for the vehicles & driver stopped immediately & didn't run away. In 3rd world countries, it's best to run away from the spot & surrender to the police later to avoid getting lynched by the public at large
