More Local Police Arrests

Federal police arrested 35 local police officers in Pachuca, as well as seven Hidalgo state police operating in the region. They were charged with working for organized crime. This is a bit surprising, since Hidalgo has little reputation for drug trafficking, and only a handful of people there have been killed in drug violence this year.

The Hidalgo arrests follow the detention of dozens of local officers in both Monterrey and Veracruz.
