Mexican Police Chief Sentenced
The former director of the federal highway police--who allegedly collaborated with a major drug cartel--was sentenced to more than four years in prison on charges of illegal arms possession, the attorney general’s office said Friday.
Enrique Harari was convicted of possessing 21 weapons permitted only for the military. They were found in his home in Ensenada in Baja California.
Harari has been held in a maximum-security prison since August 2000 for allegedly helping to protect the operations of the Tijuana-based Arellano-Felix drug cartel.
