In this article, the topic is about how informants helped infiltrate a big drug organization in Mexico City. The operation started a few years before the initial bust and it was successful. People working in the operation had to take careful approaches while working because one mistake could lead to a failed attempt to bust the drug organization. However, they did not make a mistake and they worked perfectly to manipulate the Colombian drug trafficker named Harold Mauricio Poveda-Oretega. Their key goal was to gain trust with the organization in order to move their money to a bank. The money they had access to was worth one million dollars and above. The bank the organization deposited their money in was the Bank of America branch in Dallas, Texas. One million dollars of cocaine money was deposited into the bank and that is when the operation began to make a move in the bust of the organized drug organization.
Drug busts like the one in Mexico City are good for the world. That means a reduction in the crime involved while the organization was operating. Also, a less amount of drugs are being distributed despite the fact that there are a lot more drugs being transported. It is a very good thing that international law exists because this allows for U.S agents to participate in cracking big drug manufacturers beyond our borders. This keeps order in our country because most of the cocaine being distributed was exported to the United States. Furthermore, these types of operations instill fear into other drug organizations because it conveys a good example that they will be caught eventually.
