Mexican official pleads not guilty to federal charges
A Mexican official accused of using his post to gain access to confidential law enforcement information in the United States, then sharing it with a Tijuana drug gang, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to federal conspiracy and racketeering charges.
Seven Mexican nationals pleaded not guilty this morning before a US Magistrate Judge to charges including hostage taking, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence and harboring illegal aliens for profit.
