Clean-up

Operación Limpieza continues. Yesterday, the big news was the detention of Noé Ramírez, the chief of Siedo, a major anti-organized crime unit in Mexico. Ramírez had been paid close to half a million dollars by the Beltrán Leyvas. Today, Interpol Mexico is guaranteeing that despite being infiltrated by the same band of traffickers, no vital information landed in the hands of the drug dealers. The head of the Mexico office was arrested (not some low-level intern) was arrested on Tuesday for his links to the Beltrán Leyvas, so that claims seems somewhat dubious. El Universal is also reporting that the Beltrán Leyvas paid $720,000 every month for Siedo's services.
