    Mexico: 16 cops, 15 others helped Zetas drug gang

    n worPACHUCA, Mexico (AP) — Police in Mexico say they have arrested 31 suspected drug cartel members, including 16 police officers who allegedly were paid to protect the Zetas gang.

    Hidalgo state police chief Damian Canales says the arrests began when police nabbed three alleged robbers earlier this week carrying about 30 yellow envelopes stuffed with a total of 100,000 pesos, or $8,100. Canales says it was the cartel payroll and some of the envelopes were marked with the names of police officers.

    Hidalgo is the home state of alleged Zetas leader Heriberto Lazcano Lazcano and a transit point for drugs. Hidalgo authorities in May arrested a police chief, commanding officers and agents suspected of helping the Zetas.

    Canales announced the arrests Friday.

      cartels, mafias, organized crime, gangs, call it what ever you want. corruption not just in mexico but here in the u.s. as well will end when greed ends. if there is money to be made someone is willing to risk it all. all you fools that say seal the border, send drones, make me laugh. you live in a fantasy world where the skies are blue and the planets have alligned perfectly so we live in a utopia. I say we do away with all mexicans! im sure there are no americans that would ever be corrupt or sell drugs. USA USA USA. here in america we dont have people like that.

      And Pres. Calderon wonders why their losing in their battle with the Cartels. Wake the #$%$ up, go after the Cartels as the terrorists they are. Use predator drones and go after them in their homes, their business, where they work and play. Take them out one by one until they are all killed or turn themselves in to protect their families. If colleteral damage occurs ie their families ol well, that's what happens to terrorists.

        Mexicans don't use the stuff, they sell it. If the U.S. got it's sh** together and was a bit more adult about drug consumption, then maybe Mexico wouldn't be in such shambles.
      • anchorsaway 8 mths ago
        Liar lewis methicans do as much if not more meth than most, if methico quit dealing then & only then will their lives not be in such a shamble, you'll still be mexicans but only god can fix that!

      • anchorsaway 8 mths ago
        I bet when you leech off of them like you do the USA & illegally trespass in China things will be different, they are just useing you fools! Every dog has its day & methico will get whats comming to them 10 fold! Where do you think a war with china will be held? MEXICO you stupid worms!
      • Acapulco Liam 8 mths ago
        The greatest remaining resources in world are in South America and the U.S. has done such a great job of building trust and a cooperative relationship that someone from a cross the would can take it all away just by saying hello. The Maya were around for 1800 yrs the Aztecs 700 yrs the U.S.250 yrs it's not good toppling other country Govt, meddling in there affairs, what should be the lessen greed has no borders when you place it above all else it will come back get it's revenge .

        Won't happen. Get used to us Hispanics, learn to communicate with us, and understand that we're people too. Otherwise, you're going to have a tough time here in the ever-changing U.S.!
    • Hueraso  •  8 mths ago
      Police Chief Canales said he got the leads from the arrest of a thief who stole payroll & bribe money from the Zetas? Was the guy's name Ali Baba by chance? Good police work!
    • Dave  •  8 mths ago
      This will be the Norm In Mexico and In the US . Mexicans giving Information to criminals to assist them In carrying out Atrocities against their victims .

      We need to remove the Mexican Illegal Liability from this Country While there is still time .
      Mexicans are born to permeate their disease into the hearts of their own , while they grow stronger like a Cancer in Society. Looking at the faces of those arrested , they might as well be the same as those already here . They are chameleons and Liberals In Government will allow our Country to be destroyed from within by not enforcing Illegal Immigration laws .

      Presidente Calderson, you sure as hell can't blame this one on the USA, but your very own corrupt legal system!!!

      We need one party that is for:
      rule-of-law, include enforcing illegal immigration
      for equal rights, including gay rights
      for transparent government
      against religous meddling in government affairs
      clean ethical leadership
      defines he rights and responsibilities of all U.S. Citizens, legal immigrants and illegal aliens.
    • Simba  •  8 mths ago
      Presidente Calderson is the greatest leader Mexico has ever had.
      Let him finish the job of standing up against crime, drugs and corruption.
      Stand up with him.

    • Vanderpool  •  8 mths ago
      There's not one Mexican who isn't in the cartel. The government, cops and Calderon are all playing a part. Let's hope these savages off themselves.
