Former Mexican Prosecutor Charged with Treason Over Unauthorized US Drug Raid

Federal prosecutors in Mexico charged César Jáuregui Moreno, former attorney general of Chihuahua from 2023 to this year, with treason for allowing US agents to join a drug lab raid in April without proper authorization. The charges stem from a car crash on April 19 in Chihuahua where two US agents, reportedly CIA operatives, and two Mexican law enforcement officers died. Attorney General Ernestina Godoy Ramos said Jáuregui allowed foreign agents to conduct activities reserved for Mexican authorities and failed to share information. Jáuregui denies the allegations and faces additional state-level charges, including abuse of public office. A court hearing is scheduled for Saturday.
