Casey Wian: Earlier this year, Ramirez (ph) traveled to Arizona and promised to cooperate with the United States to fight drug trafficking and other crimes on the border.
Roe Ramirez. former Mexican drug czar (through translator): We believe that together, as a united front, we can bring together all of our assets and resources to cause a real positive impact of these problems.
Wian: Instead, Mexican authorities allege he was working for drug traffickers. Earlier this week the head of Mexico's Interpol office was also arrested. Since July, at least 30 Mexican government officials have been held in connection with an ongoing investigation called Operation Limpieza or clean-up.
Pres. Felipe Calderon, Mexico (through translator): This force of reparation and cleaning corresponds precisely to our purpose and our unwillingness to compromise on keeping our offices of justice and police investigation unrelentingly clean.
Wian: Drug trafficking is estimated to be a 20 to $50 billion a year industry in Mexico. It's likely a greater source of foreign money than either oil, tourism or remittances from Mexicans living in the United States.
