墨西哥城 —— 墨西哥一名联邦法官周日裁定,前奇瓦瓦州检察长塞萨尔·哈雷吉将面临审判,此前他被指控犯有叛国罪。哈雷吉被指控在未告知联邦政府的情况下,非法发起与中情局的联合行动,拆除墨西哥北部的一处毒品实验室。该行动在两名中情局特工和两名州政府官员在返程途中遭遇车祸身亡后引起关注。辩护律师路易斯·比列加斯证实,哈雷吉被下令面临审判。
MEXICO CITY — A federal judge in Mexico ruled Sunday that a former state attorney general will face trial after being accused of treason Former Chihuahua prosecutor César Jáuregui was accused of illegally launching a joint operation with the CIA to dismantle a drug lab in northern Mexico without telling the federal government. The operation drew attention after two CIA agents and two state officials died in a car accident on their way back. Defense attorney Luis Villegas confirmed that Jáuregui was ordered to face trial.
哈雷吉于10月17日被捕,被指控非法行使公职;一名法官近日裁定他将就这些指控接受审判。联邦官员随后又增加了叛国罪指控。
