I'm back in the Rio Grande Valley three days and the local media has a front page story that will run for months, if not years. The police officer sons of the man above and of a Valley chief of police are being investigated for corruption allegedly linked to drug shipments.
If there are charges and they are proven, this could be another case of Mexican cartels subverting the legal system on the U.S. side of the border.
There's no suggestion the sheriff - re-elected last month - or the chief of police are involved, but they, and the institutions they represent, are in danger of being collateral damage. It's not just Mexico where the legal system is the target of narcos with obscene amounts of money.
(April 14, 2014 - former Sheriff 'Lupe' Treviño, the man on the billboard, pleads guilty to money laundering, eleven months after his son also pled guilty in the separate case mentioned above.)
