Complete story with pictures of the culprit critters as printed in the SudCalifornio is drawn from a press release issued by the U.S. Treasury
Department and can be seen at:
http://treas.gov/press/releases/tg326.htm
Apparently information leading to the arrest and/or indictment of our fellow La Pacenos is a by-product of the apprehension of Francisco Javier
Arellano Felix aboard the Dock Holiday in August of 2006. F.J.A.F. is currently serving a life sentence in a U.S. prison.
I'm wondering if he dropped dime on the Abaroa Family in exchange for a re-sentencing . . . no honor among thieves, and all that.

We Mexicans have no problems buying from them, but Americans can get in real trouble. This has happened in Tijuana in the past and using your credit
card at those places will earn you a visit from the Treasury Department.
