biting the hand that feeds

So, one of the Beltran Leyva brothers' top logistics guys has been arrested in Mexico City, just days after Carlos Beltran Leyva was arrested and just a few weeks since the death of brother Marcos Arturo.

Ah, the beauty of corruption. The Beltran Leyva brothers were the guys who had corrupted their way through the ranks of the PGR, SIEDO and AFI. They'd poked their little dedos in pretty much everyone's files, including those of Interpol and the DEA.

But now the Beltran Leyvas and their people are being busted left right and center. Part of that may be down to Chapo leaking the intel. But my sense is that, lacking the solidarity and security they once had, the Beltran Leyvas are being sold out by some of the very same people they once had in their pockets.

I'll never get proof of this, but wouldn't it be a hell of a story if mexico's most crooked cops were now turning into good cops/national heroes? (rather than vice versa, which would seem more normal, unfortunately)
