MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexico Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said on Thursday his government had expressed its “profound discontent” to U.S. officials for not informing their Mexican counterparts of plans to arrest former defense minister Salvador Cienfuegos.
Cienfuegos, who was head of the army from 2012-18, was arrested earlier this month at Los Angeles International Airport on charges of drug trafficking and money laundering, and is being held in U.S. custody without bail.
