The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York and the Drug Enforcement Administration have announced charges against Rchea, Sen. Enrique Inzunza, Culiacán Mayor Juan de Dios Gámez and seven others. The Mexican government has also stated that it intends to investigate 50 individuals who participated in an anti-drug operation supported by the CIA in Chihuahua.
