Agents who took part in raid are slain
Two federal agents who took part in a raid that discovered $207 million in cash in a Mexico City mansion were found beaten and shot to death in southern Mexico, authorities said.
The bodies of Josue Hernandez, 32, and Anibal Sanchez, 30, were found Tuesday in Guerrero state, where they were gathering intelligence on drug traffickers, the Public Safety Department announced.
Both were in the team that raided Zhenli Ye Gon’s mansion, and they took part in a seizure of 19 tons of a chemical bound for methamphetamine cartels, the department said.
