Former Jalisco official arrested in U.S.
Former Jalisco official arrested in U.S.
Ex-security director charged with fraud, money laundering
Mexico News Daily | Tuesday, June 21, 2016
A former senior official in the Jalisco state government was arrested last week in Texas on charges of fraud and money laundering.
Sergio Guadalupe Adame Ochoa, 65, served as director of intelligence and security for the Attorney General’s office of Jalisco but is currently a resident of San Antonio, where he was detained along with 14 others.
Adame is accused of laundering close to US $30 million, the product of “importing, receiving, concealing, purchasing and selling cocaine” in the United States.
He is also charged with fraudulently obtaining financing for the purchase of a Texas commercial property worth $1.7 million. Adame gave false information to a bank that he had non-taxable income of $500,000.
Authorities have ordered the seizure of 12 properties in southern Texas valued at $15 million.
Officials seized $50,000 in cash, 20 vehicles, 60 firearms, 30 horses and $500,000 worth of farm equipment in raids on Thursday, and confiscated 100 kilograms of cocaine during the investigation.
If convicted Adame could get a 20-year prison sentence.
U.S. officials quoted by the San Antonio Express News said that Adame had collaborated with the government in several cases against Mexican drug lords, including leaders of the Gulf Cartel.
He also served as a special prosecutor in Tamaulipas.
