The only thing they are charging him with is firing upon the approaching officers and having an illegal weapon in the house. The USA had a $5 Million reward out for him- but Mexico isn't really interested inhim it seems.

Where did you find this information?


Mexico's lack of interest in Eduardo is in today's Union Trib on PAge B1. It says they only acted because the USA gave them a tip about where he was in TJ. They weren't really looking for him I guess- but with the USA holding millions in anti-drug funds in their faces- I guess they had to take him down.

"He was arrested Saturday after a gunbattle with Mexican police and soldiers and then taken to Mexico City, but his status is somewhat unclear.

Facundo Rosas, a high-ranking official in Mexico's public safety secretanat, said yesterday on a Mexico City radio program that "there is no specific warrant" for Eduardo Arellano's arrest in Mexico.

Rosas said "there would be a possibility of extraditing"Arellano only after he faces any charges in Mexico.

On Sunday, Rosas had told reporters during a Mexico City news conference that Arellano was detained for firing at the agents closing in on him, and for the unauthorized weapons found inside the house where he was arrested. "

Hook
I believe that the Arellano Felix that you mention in your post was the leader of the cartel who was arrested on a sport fishing boat by the U.S, out of La Paz, Sentenced to life in prison, served two years and was released back to Mexico where there were no warrants on him, and was released by Mexico as a free man..............No!:?:

Benjamín Arellano Félix: The drug cartel's suspected former chief executive was captured in Mexico in 2002. In July, a Mexican judge blocked his extradition to the United States until a court can rule on the order's legality.

Ramón Arellano Félix: The cartel's suspected top enforcer was killed in a shootout with Mexican police in the state of Sinaloa in 2002.

Francisco Javier Arellano Félix: Captured in 2006 on a fishing boat off the coast of Baja California Sur and is serving a life sentence in a U.S. federal prison.

Francisco Rafael Arellano Félix: The oldest brother was extradited to the United States in 2006. In March, he was deported to Mexico after being freed from a San Diego prison. He was sentenced by a U.S. judge to six years in prison on drug charges but was granted parole.

Eduardo Arellano Félix: Captured after a shootout in Tijuana on Saturday night and was flown to Mexico City.

So if Mexico let Rafael brother go in March 08, why would they hold Eduardo at all?
