MEXICO: Ex Chihuahua AG arrested over alleged CIA drug raid
The former attorney general of Chihuahua state, César Jáuregui Moreno, has been arrested in relation to a drug raid that allegedly took place with the unauthorised participation of US security agents. The case highlights the federal government’s pushback on US intervention in security operations in Mexico, setting a precedent for other state officials who may be cooperating with the US without the federal government’s knowledge. It also points to divisions within the right-wing opposition Partido Acción Nacional (PAN) in Chihuahua, with Governor María Eugenia Campos Galván distancing herself from Jáuregui, a former ally. This could be good news for the federally ruling Movimiento Regeneración Nacional (Morena), which will be looking to add Chihuahua to its long list of governorships in state elections next year.
