Mexico’s top security officials revealed that they had information that some of the 28 top cartel drug lords extradited to U.S. authorities last week could have been released by corrupt judges.

These include a top drug boss behind the 1985 murder of DEA Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, the two supreme leaders of Los Zetas Cartel, and the brother of the supreme leader of Cartel Jalisco New Generation.
