$206 Mil In Drug Money Seized From Mexican House




MEXICO CITY Mexico's attorney general said the $206 million in cash seized from a luxury Mexico City house was connected to one of the hemisphere's largest networks for trafficking pseudoephedrine, the main ingredient in methamphetamines.

In an exclusive interview with The Associated Press on Friday, Eduardo Medina Mora said the ring had been operating since 2004 and was run by a native of China who had gained Mexican citizenship. The alleged gang leader is in hiding, possibly outside of the country, Medina Mora said.

"This organization had been introducing the illegally imported product to our country and maybe to the United States," Medina Mora said. "There are certainly connections between this group and methamphetamine producers."

Federal agents seized the cash, eight luxury vehicles, seven weapons and a machine to make pills during a raid Thursday at a house in Lomas de Chapultepec, a neighborhood of walled compounds that is home to ambassadors and business magnates. Seven people were arrested.

In addition to the dollars, which were hidden inside walls, suitcases and closets, officials found 200,000 euros and 157,500 pesos.

Authorities said it was the largest seizure of drug money ever in Mexico.

Dude, that is a lot of money. How tempting would it be as an underpaid Mexican Cop to slip off with a couple bundles of 100's?

That would explain why the Border Patrol were being a bunch of dicks and jerks more than normal last weekend based from friends coming back across. They were extra vigilant for any drugrunners.....

Mahirap kasing mag-launder ngayon ng US dollars, kaya siguro inipon. I've never seen so much cash na totoo.

Hindi kaya US $500 million yung totoong halaga nyan? Nasikwat na lang ng mga federales kaya naging 206m na lang?

Kung sa Pinas nangyari nyan, at PNP/NBI ang naka-discover nito, baka konti na lang yung i-surrender. Kani-kaniyang bulsa na yan.
